Pride Edinburgh 2025: We Are Visible!
Pride Edinburgh took place on Saturday with a parade from Holyrood to Bristo Square and the Festival Village hosted by the Edinburgh University Students Association. The Chair of Pride Edinburgh, Brett Herriot, said: 'We as the LGBTQIA+ community have seen the world around us become darker especially so for our transgender siblings and this isn't just from less enlightened parts of the globe but from the developed world especially America and right here at home. 'With hard won rights and legal protections being taken away and the voice of phobics especially those in the public spotlight growing ever louder it's become abundantly clear that being visible matters more than ever before. That's the reason for Pride Edinburgh's 2025 theme: We Are Visible! We ask the entire community to come together and show we will not be forced back into the closet that we are here and we will live our lives equal to the rest of humanity.'
