As part of Equality Network, an organisation working to improve LGBTQIA+ equality and human rights, we have partnered with some of our LGBTQIA+ sector colleagues – LGBT Youth Scotland, LGBT Health and Wellbeing and LEAP Sports – to launch an LGBTQIA+ manifesto ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections on the 7th May.
The manifesto, which is aimed at all political parties, sets out clear, evidence-based priorities that we hope the next Scottish Government will act upon to advance our equality and rights in law, policy and practice. It is not a finite list of action that is needed but rather, some of the areas that we feel are most pressing based on our collective research and longstanding engagement with the LGBTQIA+ community in Scotland.
Ultimately, we want to see a Scotland where LGBTQIA+ people are healthier, treated equally, have fairer living standards, valued as part of a shared society, and have our rights upheld. We believe this is possible and our manifesto is a roadmap to make this a reality.
