Happy Pride Month! The best way to celebrate Pride Month is to fight hard for human rights and equality for all LGBTQIA+ people.

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

Thank you to @PeteWishart for his questions on the draft EHRC guidance in the House of Commons yesterday.

Labour spin about 'dignity and respect', but the plain reality is they're pushing to make the UK one of the worst countries in Europe for trans people to live in.

[Pete Wishart @PeteWishart]

There will be a lot of trans people unsettled and anxious about this announcement on the code of practice. We are now moving in full reverse on all the progress we've made on equalities.

[The SNP @theSNP]

Happy Pride Month!

This month and every month, we stand with LGBTQ+ people across Scotland, celebrating pride, equality and the right to live openly and safely.

May 17th marks International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia.

As the Reform-Labour-Tory culture war sees the UK tumbling down the rankings for LGBTQIA+ equality, we must stand up for a Scotland and a world where everyone is free and safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

NEW: Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken has refused to congratulate new Reform MSP Thomas Kerr

🗣️'They lied about Glasgow, they scapegoated minority communities. They targeted Glasgow’s children. Their actions are unforgivable'

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Shameful

A young minority politician - who has broken no rules - is elected. Days after their election such is the abuse they suffer they have to be escorted by additional security staff.

Those who have led the pile on to Q Manivannan should take a long hard look at themselves.

Wee reminder of why Wes Streeting should have resigned a very long time ago ⬇️

🚨STATEMENT🚨

Please read Out for Independence's reaction to the SNP being returned for a historic fifth term at last Thursday's Scottish Parliament election, as well as to the election of @IrisDuane and @q_ueering as MSPs.

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

Typical. Reform UK has contributed nothing to politics bar spouting prejudice. That party has no place in the governance of Scotland.

[Chris McCall @Dennynews]

EXCL: A Reform UK candidate has been criticised after he branded politicians without children as "reckless" and "out of step with normal people".

Thank you to @ClareAdamsonSNP, our great candidate for Motherwell and Wishaw, for signing the Out for Indy election pledge ahead of polling day on Thursday.

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

Thank you to our candidates @ThomasCArthur for Renfrewshire West and Levern Valley, and Denis Johnston for Strathkelvin and Bearsden, for signing Out for Indy's election pledge.

Just a week to go. Let's go forth and build a free, fair and safe Scotland.

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

Labour scapegoat trans people to distract from real concerns about women's safety.

Now their candidate has helpfully explained why: he believes that as a father he is entitled to talk down to and ignore women.

Unsurprising from the party of Peter Mandelson.

Anas Sarwar has been urged to apologise after a Scottish Labour candidate launched a 'misogynistic' attack on his SNP and Green competitors in a letter to voters https://t.co/3gide1l1tQ

Anas Sarwar voted for GRR. His own party members have decried these plans. He knows what he's proposing is wrong.

Labour will do anything for a sniff of power.

[The National @ScotNational]

EXCLUSIVE: Anas Sarwar has been accused of 'pandering to anti-trans groups' after pledging to implement the Equality Act 'straight away' if his party wins the election

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

If you're an SNP candidate and you haven't had a chance to sign the pledge yet, no worries, there's still plenty of time - reach out to us at [email protected]! 🌈

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

We're delighted to announce that two important figures of our movement, @StephenFlynnSNP and Gillian Martin, have chosen to sign our election pledge, taking us to 63 signatures.

The SNP must stand against extreme political ideologies that scapegoat and harm our fellow Scots.

[Ross Colquhoun @rosscolquhoun]

The momentum is with the SNP, but a majority will only happen if we vote for it. Make it both votes SNP on Thursday 7th May.

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

Our pledge has now reached 61 signatures, thanks to our wonderful Clydebank & Milngavie candidate @MarieAMcNair and our Social Justice Secretary @S_A_Somerville!

OFI looks forward to engaging with a reelected SNP Government on the key priorities of the LGBTQIA+ community.

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

At the start of this campaign, we asked SNP candidates to sign a pledge to stand against culture war politics. We're thrilled to say that the First Minister and, so far, 58 other candidates (now including @jeremiesnp) have done so. But this must be followed by action after May.

[Out for Independence @OutForIndy]

From all of us at Out for Indy, happy Lesbian Visibility Week to all lesbians across Scotland and outwith!
