SCOTTISH Tory MSP Jamie Greene has said he WILL vote in favour of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill despite the majority of his colleagues opposing the move.
The MSP for the West of Scotland region is openly gay, and said he would back the reforms at the first stage because he “owes it” to the LGBT community.
Greene opened his contribution to the stage one debate by saying: “I know what it feels like to be told how you feel is just a phase or somehow be suppressed, or even worse you are immoral, delusional or mentally ill, destined to a life of misery.”
