This Saturday sees the launch of Queer Spraoi. In their own words Queer Spraoi
" is a project to engage queerness in Dublin on a new level. We organise events, such as gigs, film nights and workshops around the social centre Seomra Spraoi."

The event kicks off with a film screening of "Stonewall" a semi fictionalised account of the infamous riots
