2019 was the biggest year of pride in Scotland so far with a huge 21 pride events across the country and over 72K people attending a pride event. As well as supporting a number of prides through strategic and financial planning, training, guidance and with resources the Equality Network attended every pride to talk to thousands of LGBTI people about their rights and to spread the message of LGBTI equality.

We got soaked in Stornoway, sunburnt in Perth, we went on the rides in Inverness, listened to the marching bands in Glasgow, waved from the bus in Edinburgh and journeyed through the forest in East Kilbride. We also marched down countless high streets with our placards and our huge trans flag.
