🏳️‍🌈 Employers should be taking action and use #PrideMonth to introduce policies that promote diversity & inclusion. 🌈 LGBT+ rights have been hard fought for over the years and Unite is committed to campaigning for a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination in our workplaces.

Emergency motion 2: No LGBT without the T: Section 22 of GRA protects trans people from forcibly outing themselves. That could then put that workplace in jeopardy to legal challenges. We must remind employers of their legal obligations #stuclgbt25

Emergency motion 1: Confirming our support for Trans people after the supreme court judgement: Equality Act 2010 has not in fact changed and Trans people are protected under gender reassignment. I know this is what I have always been protected under, not sex as a woman. #stuclgbt25

Comp A : Joanne Gordon moves the composited motion : We can all agree we are angry, yet another year and we are discussing this topic. This modern form of torture operates under the guise that being LGBTQI as needing fixed. The fact that is continuing despite the danger is concerning. #stuclgbt25

Motion 6 a Trans and Non-Binary rights: Supreme Court ruling leads to dehumanisation of a group of people and we should not expect our trade union to accept such a ruling. We condemn any legal decisions regarding this. STUC needs to strengthen their strategy around this issue. #Stuclgbt25

NASUWT motion 5 - speak out for Trans rights: Trans women not recognised as women under Equality Act marked a major step backward. Double the number of hate crime with over a 5th relating to against LGBTI people and many report increased anxiety and concern for their safety and dignity. #stuclgbt25

NASUWT - young people consume 30 second sound bites of hate, kids are starting to use the language of hate. Gvt has allowed a hostile environment to flourish. We are still some way away from including LGBT+ education in our classrooms in the curriculum. We need to act. #stuclgbt25

Peter Matthews researched LGBT+ social security benefits in the UK giving insight into what that experience is like for LGBT+ people. Social security benefit is a human right and can be a matter of life and death and failure to support LGBT+ people can lead to risk of harm and suicide. #stuclgbt25

Over the last 2 decades legal rights for LGBT+ people have changed beyond recognition. LGBT+ parents continue to face barriers at work to accessing the rights they are entitled to. Facing negative comments, disbelief and intrusive question. Time to put an end to this discrimination #stuclgbt25

USDAW Rep - there are over 200,000 LGBT people are living in Scotland and make up 4.5% of the population. Many don't feel comfortable being out with family and friends and in the workplace. Supreme court judgement has had dire consequences, we need allies to help fight the far right #stuclgbt25

Solidarity to all local Prides in their stance against Political Parties supporting a Puberty Blocker Ban

Unite Regional LGBT+ Committee statement on political parties participating in pride

Unite has a long history of standing beside those who are most vulnerable to discrimination. Our union also has a strong history of holding politicians to account and challenging any failures to legislate to protect the most vulnerable in our society.

In line with these principles we are proud to stand alongside the call for uninviting all political parties, who have supported and enacted the puberty blocker ban for trans people, from participating in Prides.

Unite has proudly participated in Prides to show our support for LGBTQIA+ rights, and we actively campaign for those rights.

Pride is a protest, and those who fail to support the protest have no right to be there.

Pride is a call for action, and those who are in positions of power must use that power to act for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ communities.

Unite’s policy is to support non-commercial, community-based Prides who focus on the rights and needs of everyone who is part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. Unite will be following our policy when deciding which local Prides to support and participate in.
