Our Pride Consultation project took place across the Cairngorms between Sept 23 and Feb 24
A resounding 342 people out of the 400 participants in the research said they would like see a Pride festival in the Cairngorms
People who took part showed a love for lots of different places in the Park, so a multi-locational festival would work best given the 1800 sq mile area of the Park's geography
We were especially pleased to engage with schools and young people to ensure there were lots of young voices taking part in the project
There were lots of activity ideas put forward, and many nature-led, including queer hiking
Others wanted quieter indoors activities such as queer literature events and reading nooks in safe spaces
There was great enthusiasm for a Gaylidh/Ceilidh as part of a future Pride festival celebrating the Park's queer cultural heritage
It was very important that the LGBTQ+ community itself showed strong support for the festival idea, as well as the considerable ally community
Sadly it was clear from some of the opposition and outdated prejudices which still exist in rural areas, that bringing people together as part of a Pride festival is very important, bridging gaps between communities and increasing understanding and kindness
There are animals as well as humans in the Park, and now there are more than 1500 species recognised to have LGBTQ+ communities, it's time to celebrate them as well!
