		<description><![CDATA[Leading Scottish LGB&#38;T campaign group the Equality Network are highlighting that there is just one month left before the Scottish Government is due to announce whether it will bring forward legislation to lift the ban on same-sex marriage. Between now and 15th June, they are asking as many people in Scotland as possible to contact your MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) and sign the equal marriage petition Opponents of equality have in the last few months spent over £50,000 on campaign materials, secured 22,000 signatures on their petition, and delivered 300,000 leaflets to homes across Scotland. Find out more on how you can help to ensure that the Scottish Government make the right decision: Take Action]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Equality Network is working in close partnership with Inclusion Scotland and Glasgow Disability Alliance on the Out to Access project. The Out to Access project aims to improve service provision for disabled LGBT people in Scotland &#8211; and the project is funded by the Scottish Government. They say: Part of this project involves doing research on the needs of disabled LGBT people. In order to find out what these needs are we are doing research to produce a report. This research will be based on the findings from four focus groups. The focus groups will discuss people&#8217;s experiences of accessing services and their ideas for making services more inclusive. There will be a discussion of the intersection between gender identity and disability and another on sexual orientation and disability. Disabled LGBT people are welcome to participate in one or both discussions. Personal assistants will be provided in all focus groups and travel costs paid. Venues will be fully accessible. Inverness Focus Group Date: 24th September Edinburgh Focus Group Date: 8th October Glasgow Focus Group: Date: 15th October Dumfries Focus Group: date to be confirmed. All focus groups will run as follows: 11:00 to 13:00 Gender Identity/ Gender Reassignment and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s Pride Scotia takes place in Edinburgh this Saturday, 26 June (see their website here for full details). Bis, friends, families, partners and allies all welcome to join Bi Scotland on the march &#8211; it leads off from East Market Street (close to Waverley station) at 1.30pm. Assembly of the march starts from 12.30pm &#8211; look out for their all-new &#8220;Bisexual Pride&#8221; banner &#8211; and for extra bi visibility purple umbrellas (whether to guard against the sun or rain!). The march will go from Market Street up Jeffrey Street, down the Royal Mile, Abbeyhill, Abbey Mount, Royal Terrace, to Leith Walk, ending at the Omni Centre around 2.30pm. They also hope to have a stall at the Community Fair, which will be taking place from 1.30 to 5pm in GHQ, 4 Picardy Place, so please drop in and find us and plenty of other groups and organisations. If you are able to help staff the stall please get in touch (particularly if you&#8217;re not planning to attend the march and can therefore look after it before 2.30pm). If anybody has trouble finding them, please phone the Bi Scotland phone on 0796 396 0321.]]></description>
