News, events and support opportunities for trans people, including non-binary people across Scotland. Welcome to a summer scorcher of an edition, full to the brim with events and news to bring you up to date with our programme and what’s happening for trans people across Scotland this July. Pride season is upon us and it is an opportunity to reflect, protest, celebrate and show solidarity, particularly for those who do not have the same freedom to do so. We pay thanks to pioneering individuals like African-American trans woman and revolutionary LGBTQ rights activist, Marsha P. Johnston, who was among the first to instigate the Stonewall uprising in 1969.
Free Pride and Disabled and D/deaf LGBTQI+ Pride This year Glasgow boasts some fantastic opportunities for getting radical and getting involved, particularly if you have found the more commercial Pride events harder to access. Read on in our news section for the details of inclusive, free and accessible Pride events across the weekend of 14/15th July.
Pride Breakfast Glasgow & Ride with Pride Hot on the heels of Edinburgh’s breakfast event in June, we’re delighted to invite you to the only place to start your Pride in the west. Join the Glasgow team at the Carlton Heritage Centre, for a fantastic family-friendly line-up of entertainment, food and community spirit. Book a place for breakfast via: www.bit.ly/PrideBreakfast2018 If you’re over 50 and you’d appreciate the chance to take part in the march via the LGBT Age Ride with Pride Bus, there will be staff and community members to help make it a fun journey. Spaces are limited so contact jean@lgbthealth.org.uk to book your seat. We’re screening ‘A Fantastic Woman’ at T time Edinburgh this month and at T time in Glasgow we’re creating banners and costumes for Pride! If you are new to finding out about social events for the trans community, visit our website to learn about ‘T times’ along with workshops and groups to help you build confidence and meet others. Also this month, if you’re a trans parent and you’re looking to meet other parents from our Rainbow Families community, come and join us for a shared lunch in Edinburgh on 22nd July. Read on for information on this and much more!
