A message for our community 🏳️‍⚧️
Graphic with blue background and light writing that spells out: Today is a challenging day for trans and non-binary people and our wider LGBTIQ+ community, and we share the widespread concern following the Supreme Court ruling. While we work to understand the legal details, our groups, programmes and services remain available. We continue to be steadfast in our mission to ensure that trans and non-binary can access, participate, excel and enjoy sport and physical activity. We will now take the time to work with partners in the LGBTIQ+ sector, as well as with the sports sector, to understand the ruling before we communicate further.

Conversion practices breach human rights and have no place in Scotland. That is why this Valentine's Day we are showing our support for a Bill in Scotland to end these practices to protect LGBTQA+ people from harm. @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social @scottishtrans.bsky.social #EndConversionPracticesScotland
A broken valentines heart on a red and black background. The text on the graphic reads: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Do what you're told, And don't be you." The text continues below the broken heart: "LGBT+ Conversion Practices are abuse". The Equality Network logo is at the right bottom corner. Opposite there's a link to more info on Equality Network website.

Final thank you goes to @hannahbardell.bsky.social for her fantastic hosting. She brought her expertise and good humour and eased the attendees through a packed programme. We (& the audience) particularly enjoyed the chat between Hannah and Robyn Love about all things queer women in sport!

It's now 3 weeks since we gathered the Scottish sport sector for our Moving to LGBTIQ+ Inclusion conference in Stirling and safe to say we are still buzzing! Big thanks to all speakers and contributors & especially a big thank you to LGBTIQ+ community members who shared their stories #DiverseSport
Title of the conference, Moving to LGBTIQ+ Inclusion plus 3 pictures of people doing activity. First picture is hockey in front of a rainbow flag, the second picture is people curling, the third picture is two people stand up paddleboarding. There are two logos in the picture - a LEAP Sports Logo and an Equality and Human Rights logo.
