Finding the way: Catriona Forrest on Quaker Rainbow

‘We can learn so much from one another.’

by Catriona Forrest 20th June 2025

I was pretty lost. It was Yearly Meeting and I was squinting at the map in the wrong end of the building, trying to find the right room. What was the name again? Finally, I gave up and went to the front desk to ask. I was directed to the lift, where I squeezed in with two other women. I knew at last that I was going in the right direction, because one of the women had pink hair and a ‘B with the T’ badge (bisexuals standing with trans people). I was on my way to the Quaker Rainbow meeting, the LGBTQIA+ fellowship.
