An example of what they look like here - I usually have a bit of an opening gambit, with a handful of stories following it, going out roughly monthly. I’m really keen to get the subscriber count up in 2026, so why not give it a go?

When the Scottish Episcopalian Church at Inverness Cathedral approached Highland Pride to put on a Carols With Pride event earlier this week, then, that seemed like a good way into the conversation. Here’s my chat with them about why they are inclusive

Thank you for reading and sharing!

Considering the assault of anti-LGBTQ+ coverage we see on a regular basis nationally, these were two rare wins for the community in the north of Scotland. To anyone else, I’d have thought they are fairly innocuous stories, but apparently not…

And also this, on two members of outdoor activities group @outdoorlads.bsky.social moving to Inverness and wanting to grow the opportunities available for gay, bi, trans and queer men in the Highlands.

For anyone interested, these were the two stories - first off @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com’s data on gender clinic waiting times. Obviously not good overall, but relatively amazing for people in the Highlands

We had to move the date for this. Now happening 26th July... bsky.app/profile/chao...

Ok, I think that actually does bring an end to our Pride month coverage. I’m off to lie down for a while - but remember to subscribe to our free newsletter, The Queerier, to keep up to date with the latest LGBTQ+ news and features from across the north of Scotland

Oh, you thought that was it for this thread? Nope, one last event on the final day of Pride month saw students from two Inverness secondary schools come together to remind LGBTQ+ youth that they are not alone.

While yesterday marked the final Pride March in the Highlands this year, fear not - a new group has started up in the Cairngorms, believed to be one of, if not, the UK’s first eco-Prides.

And let’s face it, what Pride is complete without a photo gallery from the day! My colleague David Scott was on hand with his camera, putting together a fantastic selection of images from the first ever Caithness Pride.
