Alicia Kearns rebuked an MP for removing the “T” in “LGBT” as he spoke in the House of Commons on Friday 1 March.
The Alba party’s Westminster leader, Neale Hanvey, praised Ms Kearns for making a “really important point” about members of the community “feeling safe” – but dropped the “T” from the acronym, which stands for transgender.
“I will not stand for that,” the Tory MP said, hitting back.
“When you say LGBT [and] you remove the ‘T’, you suggest that they are lesser… when you choose to eradicate, that is wrong.”
