I was in Edinburgh early june last year on honeymoon and me and my wife went to a special queer edition of the St Maryâs close tour for pride :) . It was so fun and the tour guide was just so lovely!!
Anyway at the end of the tour she told us that where the regular tours basically sell out every day, the theyâve never sold out a single timeslot for the pride edition in the years that theyâve been offering it.
She was really happy we (8 visitors on a max group size of 20) were there at all. Definitely made me a little sad to hear.
So yeah Iâm happy to see this, the city definitely could use more gay shit
Honestly, as a queer person, I donât know if Iâd be excited for a queer tour. Thereâs enough queer oppression day to day. I donât know if Iâd be excited to hear about it on vacation too. Iâm a firm believer in everything being political, but I think itâs ok and probably good to take a vacation from the news every once in a while. I donât tour slave plantations when I go to Disney despite knowing FL was a slave state (I donât go to Disney or FL anymore). I feel like itâs ok just to want to be for a bit.
Good on you for going though. Glad to hear it was fun!
