The Motion is regrettable because, if it passes, it would enter falsehoods and statistical mistakes into the public record while being exploited by lobby groups to perpetuate a victim narrative that trans people are particularly at risk of murder, suicide and hate crimes./10of12

Might not the Motion cause resentment by suggesting our MSPs are obsessed with just one minority? Couldn’t they find time to mark the tragic rise in deaths of elderly people attributable to the pandemic or the increase in domestic violence against women during lockdown?/11of12

As gay peeps we know from experience how important it is for minorities to build bridges and balance the need to defend OUR rights with the need to acknowledge the claims of others. Society is a shared project. It's not a one way street. It can't always be ONLY about us./12of12
