“If you live in Scotland, if you choose to make your life here in Scotland, then you are one of us.” Scotland belongs to everyone who calls it home. No matter where you're from, your background or your beliefs, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. #SNP26

“An attack on one minority is an attack on us all.” Everyone deserves to live openly, safely and without fear of discrimination. Protecting the rights of minorities and standing up for equality matters for all of us, not just those directly affected.
