PinkUk - News Letters

PinkUk.com news on the UK and worldwide LGBTQ+ scene at a time we need it.

We are in a vital time for everyone in the wider LGBTQ+ communities. We are trying to ensure we can provide the information everyone needs on when and which LGBTQ+ venues will become available in the safe easing of restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We would bet that self-catering holidays for residents only of each country will likely be the first sector to be popular, especially LGBTQ+ friendly options, because people will be keen to holiday in a safe environment after the easing of confinement rules.

Our LGBTQ+ friendly self-catering accommodation pages are the place to browse for potential bookings as soon as restrictions are lifted in the UK and other countries. Feel free to contact us if you would like to see any other site improvements or have any problems. Have fun safely. Love and huge Pink respect to the LGBTQ+ communities The PinkUk team.

We are making PinkUk easier to use

Since we wrote last month, we have added a PDF newsletter version with more graphics. You can read it on PinkUk. This is one part of what we are doing to make things easier to get the right information easily.

We’ve also started a reorganisation of the PinkUk menu structure to help make the navigation more intuitive. We hope this will help people obtain information quickly on when venues and Prides are reopening or rescheduled and which venues are not operating in the Covid-19 pandemic. We have also added our first venues in South Korea. We have also created a page for those countries where we have venue / event listings. Please see our country pages which are grouped by continent.

History of LGBTQ+ flags

Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow Pride flag for the 1978 San Francisco Gay Freedom Day celebration. The flag does not depict an actual rainbow. Rather, the colours of the rainbow are displayed as horizontal stripes, with red at the top and violet at the bottom. It represents the diversity of gays and lesbians around the world. In the original eight colour version. You can find out what many pride flags symbolise on PinkUk
