History
Pride Glasgow promotes equality and diversity, and advances education to eliminate discrimination against the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) community. We raises awareness of these issues through the festival currently held every 2 years .
Pride Glasgow manages to maximize LGBT organisations effectiveness and their outreach to the LGBT community. By allowing these charities to promote their services to a wider audience through pride we give them the opportunity to share information and work together. This creates an area at Pride Glasgow where people can come and learn about LGBT Organisations, and find support or get involved.
2010 marks the 2nd Pride Event under the name of Pride Glasgow, the 4th Pride Event under our current format and the 8th Pride event in Glasgow to happen each time attracting more people and bigger events.
Pride is run by a volunteer team and we welcome those who wish to get involved
