Commenting on Glasgow City Council’s motion to back same-sex marriages and to respond positively to the Scottish Government consultation on the issue, SNP Councillor Grant Thoms said: “The unanimous decision by Glasgow City Council is a welcome step towards equality for all in Scotland.  Scotland’s largest city is leading the way in removing barriers to our LGBT community and bringing Scotland.

Councillor Thoms, who proposed a successful amendment to the motion, concluded by saying: “The eyes of the world will be watching Scotland on this issue.  For Scotland to be seen as a progressive, forward looking country this issue needs to be positively resolved.  I am proud to represent a city that is leading the way for others in Scotland to follow.”
