Lo & behold, they changed the article. My points still stand though.

Headline in the herald reads

SNP minister condemns own governments single-sex policy

Headline in the herald reads

Holyrood hustings debates single-sex spaces in schools.

Paul Daly @pauldaly.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Terms of the hustings were clear & emailed in advance, yet @rebeccamccurdy.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social came into our safe space & broke the rules. Filming / recording also prohibited. Makes you wonder how there are so many long quotes in the article, and how accurate the reporting is 🤔

Lastly, this is a community event. In the interests of maintaining it as a space for our communities and allies, it is not open to the media.

🏳️‍🌈👨‍❤️‍👨👩‍❤️‍👩 Loving this motion from @emmaroddicksnp.bsky.social - Celebrating 10 years of same-sex marriage in Scotland

Celebrating 10 Years of Same-sex Marriage in Scotland
Submitted by: Emma Roddick, Highlands and Islands, Scottish National Party.
Date lodged: Friday, 06 December 2024
Motion reference: S6M-15775
Current status: Has not yet achieved cross-party support

That the Parliament celebrates 10 years since the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014 came into force, legalising same-sex marriage in Scotland; welcomes what it sees as the decade of love, respect and freedom of choice that has followed the implementation of the Act on 16 December 2014; understands that over 9,300 same-sex marriages have been recorded by National Records of Scotland to date; recognises what it sees as the bravery and tenacity of LGBTQI+ and equalities campaigners who brought about the conditions for change, and who, it considers, continue to advance the rights of minorities; further recognises what it sees as the ongoing international struggle for marriage equality, with, it understands, same-sex marriage being legal in only 36 states across the globe; considers that Scotland is one of the most LGBTQI+ friendly nations in Europe, with strong LGBTQI+ legal equality and the world’s first LGBT-inclusive curriculum, and notes the calls on the Scottish Parliament to stay determined in its defence of the rights and wellbeing of LGBTQI+ people in Scotland, including in the Highlands and Islands region, and to act as a progressive global exemplar in the face of what it sees as reactionary political currents.

Over on ‘the gram’ I’ve been sharing my weekend ear worms - vinyl that’s had a wee spin and cheered up my weekend. I’m expanding on here as we have all the words.

A picture of five vinyl records:
1 Erasure - the innocents (a stained glass window)
2 The Chemical Brothers - No Georgraphy (a picture from atop a tank, driving down an abandoned motor way under a blue sky into a blurry red ominous unseen war)
3 Scissor Sisters - self titled (a woman with long red hair and a floaty white dress is walking away from us, stepping from a lushous green forest, into a busy Japanese city centre. It’s reminiscent of the wizard of oz)
4 Adele - 25 (a close up of Adele’s face, she’s looking straight into the camera
