Hibees Pride to represent the Club at Pride Edinburgh 2025
The Hibernian supporters' group Hibees Pride will represent the Club at Pride Edinburgh 2025.
Hibees Pride formed in 2022 and have remained an integral part in keeping Easter Road a safe and inclusive place for all supporters.
The supporter-led group have twice been represented at the Proud Scotland Awards, which honour those who champion diversity and inclusion in the nation within the LGBTQI+ community.
In 2023, Hibees Pride were nominated in the Charity/Group Initiative category, before being shortlisted in the Sports and Recreation Award in 2024.
Since their formation, the inclusive group have consistently challenged various issues on homophobia in football and have engaged in discussions on national TV and radio, always representing the values of Hibernian FC and promoting an inclusivity for all in the sport.
The group have continually worked closely with the Club across many issues and topics, while also taking part in key activations – such as season ticket campaigns and kit launches.
Pride Edinburgh is Scotland's longest running celebration of diversity, and has continued to grow at a great rate as it celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
The event, which is Scotland's national LGBT festival, features a march and a community-focused festival that allows organisations, activists and individuals to represent their culture and themselves.
Hibees Pride representative, and Hibernian FC Supporters' Panel member, Julie Cuthbertson commented: 'Our group has continued to progress since its inception in 2022 and the upcoming Pride Edinburgh march is another opportunity for Hibees Pride to let the wider LGBTQIA+ community know that our group, with the support of the club, is committed to making football a positive experience for all.
'While Pride is always a celebration of the rich diversity in our community, its history is also deeply rooted in taking a stand against the discrimination, abuse and violence that we continue to experience.
'This year feels more important than any other year in recent times, as some of the rights that our community have fought so hard to achieve are being wound back, here in Scotland and further afield.'
The march will take place on Saturday 21 June. More information on the event, and how you can join Hibees Pride for the march, is available across Hibees Pride's social media channels.

More questions than answers' - Rangers' response to SFA fine in full
"Rangers FC today has been found by a Scottish FA judicial panel to have been in breach of Disciplinary Rule 38, following a remark made during commentary of the Hibernian v Rangers game in May. The club has been fined £3,000. "We feel it is necessary to highlight the broader concerns this outcome raises and the wider implications this has for clarity and confidence in their regulatory processes. "John Brown spoke emotionally and spontaneously as someone who cares deeply about the club. His words were not scripted, and they were not an official club comment. The ruling however sets a precedent where even spontaneous, corrected remarks made during live coverage of a clear refereeing error are enough to trigger a formal sanction. That is neither proportionate nor consistent, especially when other clubs have made stronger comments on official platforms without consequence. "As part of our defence today, we flagged numerous examples of similar incidents on club channels. These incidents raise legitimate questions about Scottish FA rules and how consistently they are enforced. To our knowledge, none of these cases appear to have resulted in charges against the respective clubs. "The lack of consistency with the Scottish FA's policing of similar incidents leaves more questions than answers. That is why we will be contacting the Scottish FA Chief Executive and President to seek clarity on what policies and processes the Compliance Officer has in place, if any, to ensure a consistent and proportionate approach to enforcement and the equal treatment of member clubs. We shall also be asking the Scottish FA whether they accept that a rule that cannot be applied consistently across all clubs and all platforms risks losing credibility as a fair and enforceable regulation. "Our aim here is to understand the rationale behind the differing outcomes. A lack of consistency, or the perception of it, undermines confidence in the disciplinary process and exposes all member clubs to uncertainty about what is and is not allowed. "There remains no clear guidance on how clubs are expected to manage live broadcast content, though we note the panel acknowledged that the club's internal editorial guidelines may serve as a constructive step for others going forward. "To be clear, we referenced these other examples not to suggest they should have resulted in sanctions, but to highlight the clear inconsistency in how similar incidents have been handled. Club media channels are, by nature, passionate and partisan. Informal, tongue-in-cheek and emotional commentary comes with the territory, especially in live settings. "But, in choosing to pursue this case, the Scottish FA has opened the door to closer scrutiny of how similar situations are handled going forward. If this is now the standard, they will be watched closely to ensure it is applied across the board, consistently, without exception and without favour."
