Summer 2026 / Pride Edition

The future of Pride [PRE-ORDER NOW // SHIPPING FROM 01 JUNE]

Our biggest issue yet. 52 pages of journalism, history, politics, and culture from the heart of the LGBTQ+ community.

This is the Pride Edition. And Pride, as we've always understood it, is not a moment. It's a movement with a past worth knowing and a future worth fighting for.

Inside this issue, Jonathan Blake, one of the founders of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, reflects on solidarity across decades. We trace the history of Dyke Pride, chart the journey of Trans Pride in the UK from its origins to today, and hear from young queer activists about what they actually want from Pride in 2026.

Green Party MP Sian Berry speaks to Scene about the intersection of party politics and LGBTQ+ rights. We explore bisexual regret, the often-overlooked complexity of queer life in the Commonwealth, and why our elders remain our most irreplaceable living archive.

This issue goes global too. We report from San Francisco, look at a new dawn for LGBTQ+ communities in Hungary, and examine what Peter Magyar's victory really means for queer Hungarians. Plus: why not all of us vote the same way, and why that's exactly the point, and how a single opinion poll became a Reform UK propaganda weapon.

We also look inward: surviving Pride season, and what it costs.

52 pages. One community. Many futures.
