My name is Heather Rose and I am a second-year Events Management student at Queen Margaret University. With a background in musical and physical theatre, creative writing, and busking for charities, there have been few opportunities that encouraged my Queer identity to transpire. The experiences that have, have completely transformed my life and had an indisputable influence on the development of Queerativity.
Queerativity hosted our first in-person event, Pride in the Park, featuring an incredible line-up of LGBTQ+ Talent and amassing a gorgeous community of attendees. Here are some pictures of our beautiful day.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any pictures from Pride in the Park that you want to share with us!

Lola Fierce is a Glasgow-based Drag Artist with a newly released single, “Born Again”. It is concerned with reminiscing about the past, the happiness you felt, and wishing you could just go back to live it all over again. Her song covers how Lola felt during lockdown; yearning to be making some new memories! The music video covers a range of themes – most of which Lola feels are relatable to those in the LGBTQ+ community.
”I hope everyone really enjoys and loves the video just as much as I do. It definitely makes me feel proud and happy to be a queer person.“
