This issue is built around a single question: what is the future of Pride?
To answer it, we have gone to the people who have shaped it, survived it, and are still fighting for it. Jonathan Blake, one of the founders of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, reflects on decades of solidarity. We trace the history of Dyke Pride, follow Trans Pride in the UK from its origins to today, and hear from young queer activists about what they actually want Pride to become.
Green Party MP Siân Berry speaks to Scene about politics and our community. We explore bisexual regret, queer life in the Commonwealth, and the irreplaceable knowledge held by our queer elders. We report from San Francisco and from Hungary, where a new political moment carries both hope and caution for LGBTQ+ people.
We also talk about surviving Pride season itself, and a timely reminder that our community has never voted as a single bloc and that is exactly as it should be.
As you can see, this issue is packed with exciting articles. Not a single one of these pages will bore you. Promise.

Scene was founded in Brighton in 1993, at a time when news stories about Pride protests were considered radical.
Since then, Scene has remained proudly independent, building a platform for queer voices. Every subscription helps us to report on the stories that matter to LGBTQ+ people across the UK and beyond.
Your support funds our journalists and contributes to Pride Community Foundation’s grant-making and policy work.
