We've had women's lib and gay pride marches.
Now the Gingers are to show their true colours by staging their first walk through the Old Town of Scotland's capital to gain better rights.
Militant redheads are to stage Scotland's first ginger rights march on August 10 after the City of Edinburgh Council granted permission for it.
The Ginger Pride Walk, expected to attract hundreds of people, is the brainchild of ginger Canadian comic and poet Shawn Hitchins.
Protester and redhead Linzi Roe, 22, from Cupar in Fife, said: "It was quite difficult growing up with ginger hair because at times it instantly made you a target for bullies. You were different and that's all they cared about."
Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander, described as a ginger rodent by Labour MP Harriet Harman, said: "It's great to see ginger people gather to help raise awareness of bullying in a way that is fun and not too serious."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
