PRIDE SCOTIA EVENTS ROUND-UP
Pride is back in Edinburgh on Sat 23 June after last year’s Glasgow outing, with a whole host of official and off-the-parade-route events. This year, many of the Sisters and Brothers of the Order of Perpetual Indulgence (ie men and women dressed as nuns) will be in town while they hold their EuroConclave (21-25 June). With twin tenets of ‘the expiation of stigmatic guilt’ and ‘the promulgation of universal joy’, these nuns on the run will be offering ‘condom ministry’ at the festival as part of their work to promote sexual health. In the same spirit of religious irreverence, The List offers you
the Nine Stations of Pride. Enjoy.
