A supporter has told why she attended a protest outside an Edinburgh library where a meeting was taking place organised by a group for parents concerned about how gender identity is taught in schools.
The event called “school and gender identity” was arranged by Concerned Adults Talking Openly About Gender Identity Ideology and caused controversy when the group said the council told them they would need to pay £600 for security after a counter-protest was organised.
On Tuesday police officers could be seen inside the library, while around 100 protesters stood outside with placards.
Rebecca Suton, who was there with a friend, told the PA news agency that it was “important” for her to be there.
