How safe is Edinburgh for LGBTQ+ people? (lemmy.ca)

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?

Edinburgh is pretty open-minded. That might have something to do with it being fairly touristy and the annual Fringe festival. I never had any issues there, but you should always be aware of your surroundings.
