In honour of today's parade, we're looking back at how Dublin has showcased its Pride over the past 20 years. And the spirit of that event has continued to shine through in Pride celebrations of recent years, as it undoubtedly will today. The first gay rights demonstration took place in Dublin in 1974, after the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and Pride parades that followed in a number of cities. His killing came during a string of homophobic attacks in Dublin at the time. Back in April, 23-year-old Dubliner Evan Somers was beaten by a man who allegedly shouted homophobic slurs at him as he left The George bar on a night out. People from all over the county will be heading into the city centre to celebrate Ireland's LGBTQ+ community.
