If you are an SNP candidate who has not yet had a chance to sign the pledge and who would like to do so, please reach out to us at info@outforindy.scot.

Thank you to the many SNP candidates who have expressed their support for the LGBTQIA+ community by signing the Out for Independence 2026 election pledge. OFI looks forward to more action on the major priorities for LGBTQIA+ Scots in the next Holyrood term.

LGBTQ+ SNP members call on party to stand up for trans rights: 'Trans people are not demons' thepinknews.com/2025/12/29/sco…

The SNP must be at the forefront of the fight to restore everyone’s rights to live fully and freely – for people who are trans and not alike, party members write ✍️

Thank you to @ScotNational for publishing our column on why the SNP must stay at the forefront of the resistance to Westminster's push against trans rights, and how we know ordinary SNP members are already with us. thenational.scot/politics/25726…

11 years ago today, the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014 came into effect, bringing marriage equality to Scotland at last. Love wins. Now and forever.

First Minister @JohnSwinney has marked Chanukah at an event with representatives of Scotland’s Jewish communities. @ScotGov stands in solidarity with our Jewish communities and everyone affected by the terror attack in Australia.

The events at Bondi beach are an appalling act against the Jewish community at a precious moment in the Jewish calendar. Such acts are despicable at any time but ever more so at this moment. I express my sympathy and solidarity to the Jewish community at this time.

Out for Independence is happy to report that our motion regarding the threat posed by the EHRC Code of Practice was passed by acclaim at the SNP's National Council on 13th December. The SNP will remain committed to the rights of trans, non-binary and intersex Scots.

In case Westminster hasn't noticed, today is #HumanRightsDay. All the people of Scotland must go forward, not backwards.

Harassment, 'untruthful' evidence, and 'unusual' legal questions. Our reporter @xanderescribe looks at nine points from the Sandie Peggie ruling that the rest of the media has left out

@AnasSarwar Silence and thought hurt nae man.

Today’s judgment in the Sandie Peggie case says exactly what we have been saying – For Women Scotland does not require a trans bathroom ban:

🚨 STATEMENT 🚨 Please read Out for Independence's statement on the Employment Tribunal ruling in the Sandie Peggie v Fife Health Board case. ✌️

It's #PansexualPrideDay, a day to learn about, celebrate and stand in solidarity with our pansexual friends and siblings.

Today marks #TransDayofRemembrance, a day where we remember and mourn our trans+ siblings lost to hatred and violence. With hostility towards LGBTQIA+ people rising, it's more important than ever to remember the victims of this bigotry; to build a safer world for trans+ people!
