HUMZA: CHERRY SHOW MUST GO ON

Yousaf 'hopes solution can be found' after public outcry

-  PAUL HUTCHEON

HUMZA Yousaf has said he hopes a show by SNP MP Joanna Cherry cancelled over her views on trans rights can go ahead.

The First Minister said he hoped a "solution" could be found after The Stand in Edinburgh pulled the plug following complaints by staff.

Management axed the event last weekend after staff said they did not want to work at an event featuring Cherry.

She is a leading critic of the Scottish Government's gender recognition legislation, which allows trans people to change their gender without medical oversight. The move sparked an angry backlash and the venue was accused of censorship.
