Scotland Gayest Parliament in the World?

[scottish-guy]

In many parts of the world it is still political suicide for a politician to be openly gay.

However, the current situation is Scotland is simply astonishing:

We have 6 political parties with elected representatives (SNP/Labour/Conservative/Liberal/Green/UKIP) and out of those 4 of the leaders are openly gay or lesbian.

In addition, the UK Govt's Secretary of State for Scotland, is also gay!

All this in a country that didn't legalise homosexuality until 1980!

Perhaps we need to combine the Saltire and the Rainbow Flag

What else would you expect from a Country where national dress for men is a skirt ! :-)

Is that a British ploy to stop the Scots from reproducing?

Oiy Nirish.

That is the pot calling the kettle black !

Remember all those "men's skirts" in various shades or green ? Or do you suffer from selective memory loss.

Being an 'arf-n-'afr m'self I get the best of both Ross tartans. :P

Cheers.

Na, that'll be the other 'alf you're mainly thinking off, my inherited half by birth would be more the bowler hat and a fetching orange sash brigade I think - complete with a suitable sour expression on their bakes and a general air of high handed superiority towards all others who don't think like themselves, whether it's justified or NOT !

All that deviancy. It gives a whole new meaning to the anthem Oh! Flower of Scotland.

Can't resist tweaking an auld Scots prayer;
Ring out ye bells of the mansion
Ring out ye bells of the Kirk
Heaven may 'av its blessins
But tha blessins on earth is Dick.
Sorry.😇

Oh the weeping and wailing coming from the nether regions! Never afraid of kings or queens (sic), John Knox's teeth will be so gnashed he is finally a toothless tiger.

You missed out the Finance Minister who is also gay

[scottish-guy]

I'll attach this just for interest and it makes its point - but it's inaccurate really because it refers only to the UK Parliament and misses out the 60+ Members of the Scottish Parliament, many of whom are gay.
