There's a petition on citizengo that's currently got a lot of signatures.

Thanks for flagging this I'd started a thread about them too but hadn't got many responses. Going to check out the petition. It worries me with my DC starting at a Scottish primary this year.

Fucking Hell! That reduxx article especially. I'm actually speechless. Wtf is going on?

I really don't understand how they've continued as a charity and also continued to get Scot gov funding after the sexual abuse that took place and the previous CEO (or a high up leadership manager) being involved. I remember there was a thread about them on here ages ago (when I was still a lurker and just starting to dip my toe into understanding all this) and a poster just immediately dismissed the concerns raised about the charity because the thread was on FWR section. Like immediately "oh it's on THIS part of the site, boo hiss" without actually taking a step back and thinking, now wait, what about the abuse and child safeguarding? It's like people just put the blinkers on. Concerns about safeguarding are not bigoted or anti gay or anything like that.

Thanks, OP. I flagged this org to my kids' school and shared their history. The school don't link or signpost to them anymore.

I strongly encourage parents to get in touch with their schools to raise the issue.

Resurrecting this as we need to keep scrutinising them. They are behind the youth groups in various towns and it might be worth finding out what is being shared in these meetings.

The former head of LGBT Youth Scotland left to work for an NDPB in Scotland as their head of equality and no prizes for guessing which protected characteristic suddenly took precedence over any other protected characteristic?
That NDPB suddently appeared (very high) on Stonewall's employer list, they had a very active LGBT (plus allies) network, a women's network (but not just for women) but when this new head of equality and HR team were asked if other networks could be set up, there was 'no interest' in doing so (apparently).
Rainbow lanyards, laces, posters, staff training (from Scottish transgender alliance), pronouns, trans flag etc appeard everywhere. Internal awareness blogs featuring pansexual and trans colleagues.
There was an "Equality" event with a keynote speaker who is a transwoman - same event had multiple 'gender' or 'lgbt' workshops and NONE on other PCs.
Lots of BAME, biological female and disabled staff submitting grievances.
I very much question the circumstances in which their new head of Equality left LGBT Youth Scotland. Jump before pushed?
Would dearly love to say more but cannot as still employed there (hoping to leave though)

@IREALLYDONTCARE I know exactly who you mean and I have also noticed this agenda. I went for that job that he’s in, had an interview then was told they wanted someone from a protected group. Being an older female with a disability didn’t count clearly. Complained and got bullshit letter back.
Placing rainbow flags etc at forefront when there is so much inequality in skills development… don’t start me.

It's a license to taxpayer's money

Council's are on the bones of their arses, which is where the decision to give this money has come from.

Thats incredible.
