Welcome to the website for the
Scottish Borders LGBT Equality Forum.
The Forum exists to improve the lives of sexual minorities in the Scottish Borders. We aim to raise awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the Borders, organise events, provide information and support to our community and respond to consultations on public policy. It is run by volunteers.
Our Scottish Borders
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people are part of the Borders community. It is Our Scottish Borders too. The Forum recognises and commends the support we receive from Scottish Borders Council.
Summer Pub Nights

Now that the summer is here (or supposed to be here) we have additional pub nights in place of our video nights which have finished for the summer.
If you fancy joining us, we'll be in Wetherspoons, Galashiels on the third Saturday of the month from 8pm. Check out our calendar for all our forthcoming dates... |
LGBT Youth Scotland Training Event:
LGBT Youth Scotland is holding fourteen multi-agency training events across Scotland, looking at ways in which services can be made more accessible to LGBT young people experiencing a range of needs. This training series is funded by the Scottish Government as part of the Multiple and Complex Needs Initiative.
