In its 9th year, we are gearing up to celebrate Purple Friday 💜 on 23rd February – a day to spread hope, love and support for LGBTQ+ young people in Scotland!

We are thrilled to have Bafta-winning actor, Alan Cumming back our efforts to to bathe the nation in purple.

He told us: “I’m delighted to be supporting LGBT Youth Scotland in building a more inclusive Scotland this LGBT History Month. Young people are our future and it’s so important that queer young people all over Scotland know that they are loved and valued for who they are.”

He also wrote on his Instagram:

“Here’s me, age 16, back when the life I have now was just a dream! This upcoming #PurpleFriday I’m supporting @lgbtys and encouraging LGBTQ+ young people to see the future superstar in themselves too.”

Thanks Alan! 💜
