A PROGRAMME of more than 70 cultural events at Pride House aims to celebrate diversity and help to deliver an inclusive sports programme for the XX Commonwealth Games.

Around 100 dignitaries, community leaders and guests attended the ceremony at Pride House, which was officially opened by Cabinet Secretary for Commonwealth Games Shona Robison, a patron of Pride House.

The venue in Albion Street will demonstrate a commitment to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) equality on the international stage and play host to a range of sports, discussion, cultural and arts events aimed at breaking down the barriers which discourage LGBTI people from participating in sports.
