Following a motion at the Branch Executive Committee, the branch requested that the flag be flown to demonstrate solidarity with the LGBT community in West Lothian and beyond.
Our Equalities Officer, Tara McLaren said “UNISON West Lothian welcome this decision which coincides with the Scottish Government’s passing of the Equal Marriage Bill. In recent years the flag has not only become a symbol for the LGBT community but an emblem for peace and solidarity with all communities. This is a step forward for equalities and chimes well with our values.”
From L - R: Tara McLaren & Brendan Moohan, UNISON West Lothian, Cllr John McGinty, Leader, West Lothian Council, Graham Hope, Chief Executive, West Lothian Council.
