Soapbox sessions are back! It's part of the Pride Outhouse 2022, a series of events that takes place a week before the Dublin Pride Parade that integrates the Dublin Pride calendar.

The Dublin Lesbian Line (DLL) runs it and, this year brings five speakers to talk about courage. The event is free, and everybody is welcome. GCN will be live streaming the event on their social media channels.

"The theme of this year's Dublin Pride is Courage due to the recent attacks on the community. The sharing of our stories and letting our voices be heard is an act of courage. It is a space to share stories, connect and feel part of the community. " - Niamh Grennan, DLL coordinator.
