Promoting equality and diversity throughout the Orkney Isles. Home of the Annual Pride Event.
This TDoR, like so many days before, we mourn those we have lost and recognise those who are still with us.
It's our sincerest hope that, someday soon, the fight for the right to exist will cease and that there will be enough of us around to appreciate it.
Take care of yourselves.

The NHS is looking for YOUR feedback!
If you're a trans or non-binary person living in a rural area (like Orkney), then they want to know all about your experience.
There's also an opportunity for vouchers, but the really important thing is you making your voice heard!
