Patrick Harvie calls on police to investigate 'vile abuse' at Holyrood protest

A SCOTTISH Government minister has called for police to investigate “vile abuse” seen at an anti gender reform protest held outside the Scottish Parliament on Thursday.

Hundreds of protesters were outside Holyrood, with representatives from the Scottish Family Party, Unionist Clubs Scotland and supporters of the Glasgow Cabbie to show opposition to legislation making it easier for transgender people to have their gender legally recognised.

As a pro-LGBT counter-protest attempting to drown out the group with a lively disco, The National recorded one protester calling them “child molesters” and “paedophiles”.
