Pride Kernow / Cornwall Takes Place in West

31/05/2025

DJ Siva Gold on Bristol community radio station BCFM sent greetings on Saturday to her opposite numbers at Coast FM, the community radio service covering the far South West of the UK.  She reported that Pride in Cornwall / Kernow Pride was taking place in the coastal port of Penzance / Pennsans on Saturday 31st May (dy' sadorn 31ves a vis Me). The parade started at 11am and was followed by a festival.  The world's largest rainbow flag was draped across the head of the march.  

A note on translation: as with our articles dealing with Welsh LGBTQIA+ issues, we had hoped to provide a translation into Cornish of this article.  However there are no reliable and peer reviewed auto-translate functions available to handle the translation from English to Cornish.  We have found that many LGBTQIA+ people are thoughtful and supportive of Cornish representation and autonomy.  In 2011, Peter Tatchell, mostly known for his gay activism, penned a lengthy piece for the Guardian newspaper, in which he urged the Westminster government to recognise a degree of Cornish independence and self governance.  His piece attracted an astounding 1500+ negative comments, leading Mr Tatchell to remark that he was saddened by the anti-Cornish feeling on a the part of a lot of English people.
