Humza Yousaf says he hopes SNP MP Joanna Cherry's cancelled show goes ahead
Humza Yousaf has said he hopes a show by an SNP cancelled over her views on trans rights can go ahead.
She is a leading critic of the Scottish Government's gender recognition legislation, which allows trans people to change their gender without medical oversight.Yousaf told the Record: “I hope there is a way of Jo's show going ahead. At the same time, as First Minister it's not for me to tell comedy clubs or their staff, in terms of what events they should be putting on, or not putting on. Ultimately, I hope there's a solution that can be found.
Earlier this week Cherry said she hoped The Stand's management would invite her to meet privately so they could understand "her actual views, rather than a distorted version of them".
