Glasgow’s council has sent “solidarity” to councillors and staff who have faced “horrendous abuse” on social media for promoting LGBT+ inclusive work.
During the full council meeting, councillors shared personal experiences of abuse and expressed regret that “recent years have seen the debate around LGBTQ+ people and their rights become increasingly bigoted”.
And one councillor revealed that in recent weeks he had been called "a pervert, a beast, a nonce, a deviant, a groomer" and been told he “should have tried harder at killing myself”.
