Paul Murray, one of the Fife Pride organisers said:
“We are delighted to be bringing Fife Pride back to The Kingdom for the 5th time! We come together to celebrate and to protest. We celebrate the leaps and bounds we’ve made in equality and diversity over the last few years. We protest for changes that still need to be made. We seem to live in a world where lies, manipulation, and mis-interpretation of facts are the order of the day – particularly when targeted at our trans siblings. We all need to stand up against that.
Whatever your reasons for coming to Fife Pride you are welcome. We look forward to an epic, rainbow filled gathering in Kirkcaldy on Saturday 1st July!”
Sponsorship is from Aegon, Sky, Fife Council, and Fife Voluntary Action.
