First time out rowing since February and it felt amazing. And we had a few visitors helping us celebrate @OfficialSCRA #Prestwick
B was sent to therapy for having 'gay thoughts'. B's therapist sexually abused him. His parents didn't believe him, the 'lies' were seen to be part of 'his condition'. B took his own life a few months after my visit /4
As part of a social work fellowship in 2003, I spent time with young people in Tulsa, Oklahoma (age 15-25) who had been through and were going through conversion therapy and whose experiences have stayed with me and inspired my own activism since /2

Welcome back to our third week of the #CoronavirusCardio challenge! 💯💥
We know you've all been waiting for this one... 🤭 Day 1️⃣4️⃣ features our Exec Director @hughlio with the 'doggy dumbbells' exercise! 😂🐶
PS. It is ill-advised to attempt this with big dogs e.g. Great Dane

Super afternoon working with the brilliant @hughlio & @LEAPsports Team PE took so much from this interactive & thought provoking session. Much to consider regarding labels, stereotypes, inclusion, social justice & equity for all. Serious food for thought ❤️PE 🏳️🌈 @UniStrathclyde
Very fulfilling day at the office speaking about the @outsporteu research findings, about LGBTIQ+ discrimination and about trans* and intersex rights in sport @coe and European Court of Human Rights on behalf of @eglsf and poignant on #TDoR2019 #TransDayofRemembrance
Well done @Angharad___ and team for a brilliant graduation event and some really fantastic projects by the youth activists.
Listening to the fabulous @stefanhoggan who never fails to inspire, speaking tonight to the young people in our Youth Activist Academy #DiverseSport
If I ever needed a more emotional, powerful and poignant call to action then hearing the experiences these last 2 days of @AnnetNegesa and Pol Naidenov were it #sportdisrupted #DiverseSport
A real privilege to hear @MitrP in conversation with @AnnetNegesa at #sportdisrupted #ErasmusPlus conference
'People who oppress one of our most marginalised groups are neither radical nor feminist and we must be clear about that' @TerryReintke at #IEPrague2019
Clearly haven't learned anything then. This was a response to a short video on the @GlasgowCC twitter account in which I was talking about homophobic hate crime!!
Had the privilege of delivering a workshop on #LGBTI participation in sport in partnership with @gogibbogo of @insideinclusion at last week's @sportscotland Equalities seminar looking at the @outsporteu research findings #SportforLife #DiverseSport
Hearing about the work of @CaudwellJ on trans experiences in PE. Great stuff to embed into our current collaborative work with @SATPE1 and @LEAPsports #troublingsport #DiverseSport

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
We are running an event to bring together voices of BAME LGBTQI+ people in sport, with the added element of healing and self reflection. We will be running zine making and healing circles.
