SUPPORTERS of Gender Recognition Reform drowned out a Scottish Family Party counter-protest by chanting “trans joy” and blocking their placards with LGBT+ flags.
Campaigners gathered outside of the Scottish Parliament on Thursday afternoon to hear speeches from trans people impacted by the legislation and MSPs from the SNP, Scottish Greens, and Scottish Labour.
A large crowd had gathered under the shadow of St Arthur’s seat on the grass area outside of the Holyrood building, where speakers took to a temporary stage.
