Pride is a celebration and a protest. Greens will always stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community as we fight for:
๐ณ๏ธโ๐A ban on conversion therapy
๐ณ๏ธโ๐End the Gender Recognition Reform block
๐ณ๏ธโ๐Improve trans healthcare provision
๐ณ๏ธโ๐Create a kinder, fairer country for all
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.
@ScotNational Iris uses she/her pronouns, using they/them pronouns for a trans person who explicitly doesnโt use them is very rude and clearly undermines her
So has it turned out that Zack wasn't even billed for the tax? Apparently local authorities made a huge error and didn't bill a a bunch of people.
So Zack literally had nothing to apologise for ๐
๐ข @IrisDuane elected to represent Glasgow region!
Iris is one of three Scottish Green MSPs elected in Glasgow today, taking our total across Scotland so far to 10!
I have contacted SNP leader John Swinney and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth to congratulate them on their enormous mandates.
For the first time ever, there could be three pro-independence First Ministers across these islands.
More and more people are looking towards a future beyond the constraints of the Union.
I look forward to continuing to build the friendship between the people of our nations, and to working closely with both John and Rhun in the time ahead.
๐ข Holly Bruce elected to represent Glasgow Southside!
Holly is the second Scottish Green MSP to be elected today, and the second Scottish Green constituency MSP to be elected ever!
๐ข @lornaslater elected to represent Edinburgh Central!
Lorna is the first Scottish Green MSP to be elected today, and the first Scottish Green constituency MSP to be elected ever!
โ Doubling our number of MSPs
โ Winning constituencies in Edinburgh and Glasgow
โ Within touching distance of second place
With your help we can stop Reform UK and build a fairer, greener and independent Scotland.
@AustinRSheridan@theSNP Both votes for snp is a complete waste tho, if you want to maximise the amount of pro-Indy msps it makes sense for snp voters to put the greens on regional ballots
