Lots of them have just disappeared into drugs, into other places, wherever, they're just gone.

People who don't have supportive families disappear.

It happens.

We were lucky.

But I feel this Pride on the 27th in Dublin, I'm nervous.

I'm nervous we're going to have some sort of nervous, you know, some sort of negative faction on O'Connell Bridge shouting at us.

When Pride is not a gay march, Pride is a celebration of inclusiveness.

And at its core, for me, it's still always as a protest to remind people not to let go of our human rights.

Ireland has changed so much in our lifetime since we were in school, like unbelievable for both of us.

So we're very proud of that.

We need to hold tight with that and not lose sight that there are anybody of difference in our culture right now doesn't feel safe.

there's a confidence when people unite and hate.

And there's an access point where they can do that online.

So when people unite, I hate them.

Oh, I hate them too.

And hate is a much stronger emotion and it peddles much more views and it keeps our attention for longer, as we all know those things about, right?

I actually genuinely think unregulated social media will be like smoking in cinemas in 20 years' time.

I really do think it will be.

It has to be because it's allowing people to have these vacuums of nonsense with no fact.

And it's also allowing people to talk nonsense and accept that they don't need facts because it's opinion.
