“It’s about making a political statement, and celebrating all that we are free and without fear”
In 2022, we were nominated as Somewhere For Us Unicorns of the Year Award. Unicorns are inspiring LGBTQ+ people and allies who are making Scotland, and our local communities, a brighter place to live, work and thrive.
Porty Pride 2021
Porty Pride came about in 2021 during the Covid-19 lockdown. There had been visible instances of transphobia and homophobia in the form of stickers and flag destruction.
Pride marches were cancelled during the pandemic, yet this inevitably dimmed the visibility of LGBTQ+ communities, many of whom were facing additional challenges and discrimination exacerbated by Covid-19. We understood why we couldn't come together to march during the pandemic, but this didn't remove the need for Pride.
In 2021 we celebrated Pride Month by flying Progress flags along Portobello High Street. It was a huge success and created a positive and safe environment for the local community.
