Politicians voted to ensure the policy protects LGBTQ+ rights particularly trans people.
A council meeting heard trans people are being “dehumanised and made out to be deviants” as councillors agreed that anti LGBTQ+ “sentiment has no place in a democratic society.”
Claiming anti trans rhetoric is being framed as “debate,” Bailie Gallagher said: “On the one side of this debate there is a group of people who want to be able to live their lives. On the other side there is a group who want the first group not to have human rights or frankly to exist at all.” Councillor Gallagher continued: “There is no reason for a man to go through the upheaval, bureaucracy and physical pain of gender transition when all he needs to do is follow a woman through a door.”
She said the motion today will update the “council’s flag policy to be more inclusive of LGBTQ+ remembrance and celebration”
