A thread, for all those all those who turned out today to stand against Racism & Fascism- Thank you what a beautiful response, Thank you for making true the slogan #PeopleMakeGlasgow #BlackLivesMatter

In recent days there were those who tried to say there is a moral equivalence between far-right racist thugs & peaceful anti-racists- that was abhorrent & grotesque pandering to racism- We have a proud tradition of no platform 4fascism in Glasgow & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The message to @policescotland was simple if you don’t do your job, then as a community we cannot allow fascism to take a foothold in our city- in a civilised democracy they can never be allowed neutrality on racism or Fascism

On Burns Night, my boyfriend and I had a really shit #homophobic incident in #Glasgow's southside. We were holding hands, and a guy walked passed us and called us a "pair of bent bastards". I challenged him, he repeated the phrase, I called 999.

For the next 26 mins, I stayed on th phone w/@policescotland, my boyfriend filmed and th man continued to call us "bent bastards" "bent cunts" "fucking poofs" "pair of poofs", "it's not fucking right two men sleeping together" (limited but effective lexicon: he did not like gays)

He hated me. He told me that. He snarled at me, told me that I was against the law, that I was fucking disgusting, for the best part of 30mins. This man saw me as one thing he despised; not as a brother, or a son, or grandson, or a friend, or whatever.
