As an inclusive, intersectional organisation we condemn the support given to Sarah Phillimore today by an SNP MP. Phillimore's antisemitism and transphobia are not part of the Scotland we want to see - bigotry in all forms must be opposed.
Out for Independence calls for the removal of the SNP whip from Joanna Cherry MP and echoes @YSINational’s calls for an independent investigation into transphobia in the party.
💛We welcome the NEC's decision today in adopting an official definition of transphobia
🏳️⚧️Trans and non-binary people now have protection against discrimination in the party
🌈We are looking forward to the adoption of the other definitions of discrimination too!
Today @NicolaSturgeon has announced @scotgov’s plans to hold an independence referendum on the 19th of October 2023 🏴
It is time to finally put Scotland’s future into the hands of Scotland’s people 🤍
We are disappointed that we have had to submit a complaint to the SNP National Secretary regarding John Mason MSP's question in parliament today.

As an affiliate organisation, we are not allowed to endorse or single out candidates. However, we are incredibly disappointed with the way this leadership campaign has been conducted and the tone and language that have been adopted toward the LGBTQ+ community.
We are thrilled to announce that @HumzaYousaf will be the keynote speaker for our conference on May 27th in Glasgow!
We hope to see you all there - there's still time to register at eventbrite.co.uk/e/out-for-inde…
We, at OFI, condemn Labour's attempt to ban puberty blockers for trans children. Puberty blockers are an essential tool for buying time for trans teenagers to explore their genders and decide if further transition in adulthood is right for them \1🧵
The new health secretary has defended the Tory ban on puberty blockers for young trans people which was challenged in the High Court today.
And, despite repeated warnings of the risk to young people’s lives, he added he’d like to make the ban permanent.
