'We must all stand against those stoking fear and division' ✍ jonmolyneuxSGP Read his latest column here:
JUNE is Pride month. Pride is widely understood as a celebration of LGBTQ+ visibility and unity, but this year it must also be a rallying cry to everyone opposed to hatred and bigotry to stand with the LGBTQ+ community, which finds itself under sustained, deliberate attack.
In total, almost 2000 hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people were reported last year, making up more than a third of all reported hate crimes. I am proud beyond words of all my LGBTQ+ council colleagues for continuing to stand up in the face of at times horrendous abuse. As a case in point, at the same as Glasgow’s Green councillors were securing increased support for LGBTQ+ kids in our city’s schools in the face of growing prejudice and bullying, Douglas Ross was trying to whip up a moral panic over … someone reading age-appropriate stories to children, on a voluntary basis, whilst dressed up drag, just like in the panto tradition.
