I didn't see the projected sign and gather it was onto the back wall behind the back row of seats. We were very near the smoke machine which smelled of smoke machine but it could easily have been mistaken for a fire by audience members. Security went looking behind the stage but it must have been being operated from elsewhere.
She was magnificent. So clear and principled. I do not support independents but with her in charge I would be much more tempted. Great moment after when she hugged Joanne Lamont. Loads of rock stars there too. MBM, Shereen Benjamin, Kate from LGB Alliance. Media scrum outside after but she had huge support on the steps as she came out.
Very supportive audience.
I loved her opening line where she thanked all the venue staff wearing rainbow scarves and lanyards for honouring a lesbian. JC was wearing a rainbow necklace too.
She was crystal clear about why she supports sex in terms of being single sex attracted, not gender. She spoke about the importance of lesbian spaces. Also, being discriminated against as a feminist, a lesbian and a Catholic when she was first looking for a legal career.
She wanted open debate about issues (trans / independence etc) and was scathing about no debate. She abhorred, but didn't name, the previous FM and Blackford and clearly had no support. Stephen Flynn is happy for her to disagree and vote her conscience on these matters.
She didn't mention how Flynn can have Mhairi Black in his team but it was clearly implied in her desire for debate.
Loads of questions. All of them supportive. When the others were offered the chance to ask a question they said they were "not comfortable." I suppose it would be hard to represent the trans activists in a room so supportive of JC.
