Coorie Moments

As the world opens a little more, we want to remind you to appreciate the little things in life so we are including a monthly feature of Coorie moments written by our head editor and illustrated by our team’s illustrator. For anyone who may not know, here is the definition of Coorie: a Scots word meaning "to snuggle, nestle". It has been appropriated and positioned as a ‘lifestyle trend', similar to the Scandinavian concept of hygge, which involves ideas such as cosiness.

Basically watching every single moment of ‘Carol’

When you come into yourself and discover your own sexuality

When someone asks you your pronouns

The moment when you realise how you identify is your business and no-one else’s

When all that time using your voice pays off because LGBTQ+ rights are for that moment prioritised

Losing your voice to Seasons of Love every time you belt it out....

Dancing the night away at a same-sex wedding celebrating people who have deserved this moment for so long

Seeing yourself celebrated on the screen, in a book or in a song

Remembering just how far you’ve come

Feeling welcomed and seen by the community that you always yearned for
