We proudly joined the @pridemoray march in Forres, Scottish Highlands, yesterday. We were beaming with #Pride all day! Thank you to the team of volunteers for all their work making the event happen. It was amazing seeing so many allies show their support too. Pride is a protest!
This is all a bit surreal. We’re featured in today’s The Observer paper (in print). We’re still pinching ourselves. Scottish icon, and #SomewhereForUs 🏳️🌈 member, #AlanCumming has shared his top cultural highlights. We are so proud he has chosen our magazine as one of his picks.

We’re on cloud nine to reveal that @AwkwardProds are the winner of a #SomewhereForUs 🏳️🌈 #EdFringe Award. Their @edfringe shows Gwyneth Goes Skiing and Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story are iconic and exude queerness. They’re FABULOUS!
This play is an act of resistance! @TERFplay are the winner of a #SomewhereForUs 🏳️🌈 #EdFringe Award. From changing venues, to receiving death threats… TERF is the embodiment of perseverance and what the Fringe is for. Trans rights are human rights! 🏳️⚧️
Whoop whoop! Our first #SomewhereForUs 🏳️🌈 #EdFringe Icon Award winner is Scottish comedian Susie McCabe, who has been performing at @edfringe since 2015. Her stand-up comedy show The Merchant of Menace has been a highlight at this year’s Fringe. Watch out for her UK tour!
Kemah Bob is taking #EdFringe by storm with their show Miss Fortunate. It’s a wild ride that zips through the tale of an incredibly silly woman’s glamorous journey to her own personal hell and back. Because if you’re gunna f*ck up your life, you might as well look good doing it.
“The self-confessed LGBTQ-EX-SNP-MP-ADHD gave us a very humorous and memorable hour at #EdFringe.”

“#LauraDavis had the enthusiastic audience in their hands from the very first second of their stand-up performance. The laughs didn’t stop! Their colourful and fast-paced delivery style had us locked in. #Albatross is hilarious and it’s a show that should be on everyone’s lips.”
Well that was a lot of fun! We had a fabulous time seeing Crewe’s Drag Superstar #HollyStars 🏳️🌈 at @AssemblyFest. Thanks for the bourbon biscuit Holly (they’re our faves). We’ll be thinking about you the next time we pop in to Superdrug! #EdFringe
