Queerness
and Nature
Bringing LGBTQ+ wellbeing, queer ecology and the climate emergency together.

The philosophy of Cairngorms Pride is to recognise, support, protect and champion LGBTQ+ diversity across human and natural worlds.

Nature is a source of joy and belonging for many queer people, as the natural world does not discriminate against us.  

From this place of empathy we can connect and support each other while showing the same love and care for our planet.

Queerness is everywhere in nature.

We are nature - Nature is us.

Why be anomalous when you can be fabulous?
