Here we go. Adam Price, May 2018:
"Thirty years on, I’m here - a proud, open, gay man in public office serving the people of my country and I am proud today to be celebrating the LGBT community.
Recently published statistics from Stonewall Cymru show that 41% of trans young people in Wales have attempted suicide and that 77% of trans young people have self-harmed at some point in their lives. Trans young people also face high rates of bullying and mental health issues.
There has been a significant rise in transphobia and smear campaigns directed towards the trans community in the media. Trans women in Wales in particular face significant challenges including increased vulnerability to hate crime, violence and abuse.
On this matter, I am supporting a reformed, simpler and streamlined GRA that would give trans and non-binary people the right to have their identity legally recognised without the need for medical diagnosis or intrusive bureaucratic processes – giving them the right to their own self-determination.
I am proud of Plaid Cymru’s record in championing LGBT rights and will continue to represent the LGBT community in Wales and campaign for education and tolerance. Plaid Cymru’s vision is of a Wales free from homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. I do not believe that Wales can ever truly be free until our LGBT citizens are also free."
Trumpets sound, unicorns caper, children skip through the daisies.
