Nine years ago today an LGBTI hustings event took place in the run-up to the 2016 Scottish election. Every main party leader attended, and all agreed on straightforward equality issues that needed to be pursued by the parliament. Have a read of this. It's like something from a parallel universe.

We are devastated that Christina McKelvie has passed. Christina was a remarkable woman: a force of nature, compassionate, and incredibly warm. We shared many values with her and know how committed Christina was to social justice, equality, and to doing everything she could to make Scotland the best it could be. In doing so, she was the best of us. 

Christina was a formidable Member of the Scottish Parliament and one of the earliest supporters of our work. She played a pivotal role in ensuring that Scotland became the first country in the world to advance LGBT Inclusive Education. We will cherish the memories that we were privileged to create with her.

Our thoughts are with Keith, Jack, Lewis and all who knew and loved her. We will miss you, Christina.
