Happy #GlasgowPride. Today is a day of joy, celebration, and defiance. This year more than ever it's important that people show up for LGBT+ communities across Scotland and Britain, to support a culture of visibility and acceptance. #GlasgowPride #Pride #Scotland #LGBT #LGBTRights

A great little video featuring novelist Elif Shafak, who gives her take on the connection between organised religion and "us-and-them" thinking. Do you agree? Does all organised faith always require an "out group"? Drop us a comment... #Humanism #Atheism #Secularism #CitizenOfTheWorld #Religion

We've joined major faith and belief groups in Scotland in expressing solidarity with racially minoritised communities following the sickening racist violence of the last few weeks. www.humanism.scot/2026/07/06/h... #Scotland #Humanism #FaithAndBelief #Interfaith #Solidarity #AntiRacist #Leith

The bill as drafted would only apply in England and Wales, but this news from London makes it *significantly* more likely that conversion practices will also be ended in Scotland. Read more at our news blog to find out why: www.humanism.scot/2026/06/25/d... #ConversionPractices #LGBTRights

Our chair Jennifer Buchan (second from left) recently hit the town to attend the @humanists.uk President's Reception in London. Here she is with HUK Head of Pastoral Care Lindsey de Wal (left), President of HUK Janet Ellis (second from right), and Lone Ree Milkaer from the European Humanist Network

ICYMI, Scotland’s former deputy first minister Kate Forbes recently made a not-so-surprising appearance at the "anti-woke Davos", aka the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (or ARC) conference in London, co-organised by Jordan Peterson. Read our response: www.humanism.scot/2026/06/29/k...

A new #AssistedDying bill has been introduced in the UK parliament after the last was undemocratically blocked in the Lords. A successful vote in England and Wales will reinvigorate the campaign in Scotland. Back @humanists.uk, tell your MP to support the bill humanism.eaction.org.uk/assisted-dyi...

Humanist Society stall at Edinburgh Pride on Saturday. By all accounts a very busy table! See you all next year! #Pride #Edinburgh #LGBT

Happy #DundeePride. Humanists will be there celebrating with you today @dundeepride, marking the long relationship between humanism and LGBT+ rights in Scotland. #Pride #Scotland #LGBT #LGBTRights #Reform #Politics #Homophobia #ScottishPolitics #Holyrood #Dundee

An event scheduled to take place in London on the challenges of adapting to extreme heat has been cancelled due to, er, extreme heat. It's all getting a bit silly isn't it? We need urgent and equitable action to tackle the #ClimateCrisis in Scotland and across the UK, and we need it now.

Humanist Society Scotland expresses solidarity with Scotland's Muslim community and profound sorrow following the appalling knife attacks against five men in Leith on Friday. Read our full statement below: www.humanism.scot/2026/06/22/h... #Humanism #AntiMuslim #Interfaith #Edinburgh #Leith

POV: You're working to decriminalise abortion in Scotland and the new convenor of Holyrood's health committee thinks that women lie about the extent of their pregnancies to access abortion care, and that abortion causes foetuses to be born alive. Read more: www.humanism.scot/2026/06/15/h...

Happy #EdinburghPride Day. To mark the occasion, we're digging out a #PrideMonth special from out interview series. We caught up with our brilliant celebrant Ali Kerr back in 2023 to talk about how much the meaning of Pride has changed. www.humanism.scot/2023/06/13/i...

How many humanists does it take to fight Christian nationalism in Scotland? We're hoping nine will do the trick 😱 🫠 🙃 #HumanistSocietyScotland #Humanism #Scotland #Atheism #GoodWithoutGod #NoGodNoProblem #ReligiousPrivilege #ChristianNationalism #ScottishPolitics #LGBTRights #AbortionRights

The Equality and Human Rights Commission's new code of practice, on enforcing single sex spaces, "would usher in a dark age for LGBTQ+ rights in the UK". That's according to @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social and @scottishtrans.bsky.social. Email your MP: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

Anyone for bean soup? NO I DON'T LIKE BEANS, EVERYONE STOP EATING BEAN SOUP!! Can you think of any comparisons? Australian comic Rhys Nicholson with some #PrideMonth facts #TransRights #Humanism #LGBT

We had a bit of a dust-up with some climate deniers on Facebook after we shared a post from Greenpeace. But it did throw up some lovely memes from folks with their heads screwed on. Please enjoy! #RedPillDave #IDontWantACityOnMars #NoPlanetB #NetZero #ClimateCrisis #NatureCrisis

Have you seen the Herald exclusive? Reform UK's new convenor of the Holyrood health committee has called abortion decriminalisation in England and Wales "appalling" and used a comparison with spayed feral cats to express her position on abortion rights. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2618878...

This is why Pride is still needed, in Scotland and the UK. As reactionary journalists tell us Londoners live in a "trans North Korea", councils are actively removing support from LGBT+ events and displays. We know the voices of reaction love quoting Orwell, so how's this for some 2+2=5 thinking?

Humanist Society condemns the violent scenes that unfolded in Glasgow last night, which saw masked men walking through the city centre, intimidating and, according to one report, attacking passers by. Read our full statement: www.humanism.scot/2026/06/10/h...

"I know that the ones who love us will miss us"🥲 Keanu Reeves's simple reply when asked by TV host Stephen Colbert what happens when we die. Can any of us honestly say that we know any more? #KeanuReeves #Humanism #JohnWick #StephenColbert #TheLateShow #OneLifeOneEarthOneHumanity

Happy #HighlandPride Day 2026. It all kicks off at 12.30 at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness: highlandpride.org/events-page/... The humanist movement and the LGBT+ movement in Scotland share many members, and many causes. We'll be doing shout-outs for the other marches all thru #PrideMonth and beyond

This #WorldEnvironment Day, we're remembering the remarkable Scottish nature writer Nan Shepherd (1893-1981). Shepherd's writing reveals the elevated emotional states that can be reached through communing with nature. We think that kind of feeling is important to lots of atheists. What do you think?

We stand with all those who have called out the offensive and bigoted remarks attributed to Reform UK's candidate in an upcoming by-election in England. These include unearthed social media posts in which he called abortion "a cowardly act of murdering a defenceless baby”

We are very concerned that the Scottish government has not renewed the role of Minister of Public Health and Women's Health in its new cabinet. This minister was a key point of contact for our work on abortion care reform, including the drive for decriminalisation

Touché

No shade on this preacher or her podcast. Whatever gets you through the day and brings you joy and meaning. BUT, if you think this story is probably not true, you might be a humanist! Read more about what humanism is here: www.humanism.scot/2023/12/11/w...

We were delighted to attend the Scottish Teachers Association of RME's Third Festival of Learning Last Week. It was great to be approached by lots of teachers who told us that they had used the materials we produce about humanism and ethics for schools! See you next year!
