Provost Douglas McAllister led elected members and local residents in a flag-raising ceremony in Clydebank to mark LGBT+ History Month.
Provost McAllister, who is Labour’s prospective parliamentary candidate in the West Dunbartonshire constituency, said: “Each year during the month of February we recognise and reaffirm our commitment to equality and human rights. We want to make West Dunbartonshire a place where everyone feels included and safe to live and work.
“We celebrate our area as a place where people can live the life they choose without fear of discrimination.
Yet no psych ward patient has any human rights at all. Who cares what they go through ?
