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.
