How gay-friendly is Edinburgh?

[spacechimp]

I have to go to uni in Edinburgh or Manchester. Obviously Manchester is quite gay-friendly, but how about Edinburgh?

[jedimistress]

Do you mean the gay friendliness of the University or the actual city itself? The city is reknowned for it's vibrant gay community.

[spacechimp]

Well, I think all universities are pretty gay-friendly, so yeah, the city itself.

Reading civil engineering... I don't rate my chances.

flippin eck spacechimp is back

it's only classed as the gay capital of europe

so you should feel well at home there lmao

[spacechimp]

What about Amsterdam and London for gay capital of Europe?
Anyway, seems all right. Cheers.

Edinburgh's sound -its really eclectic -I love it.Spent a weekend there just a few weeks back at the Caledonian Hotel -had a wonderful time.

Im sure there is a thriving gay community -just that i'm too boring and old to do the pubs and clubs lol

My son lives there-he graduated from Heriot-Watt -is that where you're thinking of going?

[spacechimp]

Nah, University of Edinburgh. I'm trying to decide whether to put it as first or second choice on my UCAS. It's just the 5 years that's putting me off

[Drisgirl]

Good Luck with whatever you choose -I know my son has never been happer studying and now working in Edinburgh -but hey i'm always going to biased as the Scottish education system is way better -no student fees/grants so you are better off from the word go.

Im exiting AB before i get the wrath-not from you but just the fact that yet again we are one step ahead lol

[spacechimp]

Not exactly: I just don't want to go somewhere massively anti-gay.

As far as I can remember, i am sure that Edinburgh has a few gay bars and clubs - probably more now - not really my area of expertise though I was born and grew up in the city.

it is very cosmopolitan, and has a very low crime rate, but if you need a bit more excitement, you can be through in Glasgow fairly quickly.

is he allowed to take it off if he's just going to a lecture, chicobird?

[R1Geezer]

well a lot of blokes wear skirts so I'd say it's pretty safe bandit country!

[dm1982]

r1geezer that would be our war uniforms when we skelped you at bannockburn then!! Why would a guy man be interested in a skirt??

Edinburgh the gay capital of Europe? I dont think so, i think that belongs to London, i dont have a problem with gay folk, im sure there will be places for you to go in Edinburgh as there are in any town nowadays.
