I [18NB] am starting uni in Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow. Since I'll be living a good distance away from home, I was thinking of buying some pride merch and stuff.

However, it has crossed my mind that safety could be an issue. I wouldn't have thought that Edinburgh would have issues, but I think it's best to ask Lemmy: On the whole, is Edinburgh a safe place to be myself?

Isn't that girl in If Found going back home from Edinburgh? That's based on a real story iirc in the 90s and she was able to come out there. So if that's true then it can't be that bad.

And also a tip from me is to learn self defense.
