Councillors agreed anti LGBTQ+ sentiment 'has no place in a democratic society.'
Pride flags are to be flown more often by Glasgow council as politicians voted to ensure policy protects LGBTQ+ rights particularly trans people.
Claiming anti trans rhetoric is being framed as "debate," Bailie Gallagher said: "On the one side of this debate there is a group of people who want to be able to live their lives. On the other side there is a group who want the first group not to have human rights or frankly to exist at all." She called for the council to support the movement "to protect equality and to uphold the identities of people who are doing no harm and only want to live authentic lives."
She said it also commits the council to review LGBTQ+ equality measures - specifically looking at the protection of "trans and gender non conforming people as well as the council's effectiveness in reducing the impact of the "culture war."
