Glasgow's main celebration festival of gay and transgender identities has vowed to support a campaign against LGBT bullying in schools.

The Time for Inclusive Education (TIE) campaign, set up by two Glasgow men following the referendum, has launched a partnership with Pride Glasgow this year.

TIE founders Jordan Daly and Liam Stevenson previously took their campaign to Holyrood's petitions committee, calling for all Scottish schools to have mandatory education of LGBT issues.

Pride's official parade on August 20 is to be themed around the campaign and will reflect calls for inclusive education.

It comes after a recent report by Stonewall Scotland highlighted that a quarter of all LGBT pupils have attempted to take their own lives, and more than half are regularly self harming.

Alastair Smith, Pride Glasgow's CEO, said: "We are delighted to be working with TIE.

"Inclusive education is an issue that will tug on the heart strings of every LGBTI person, allowing individuals time for reflection about their experiences in education.

"This issue will bring the community out in their thousands to march, demonstrate and be part of bringing about the much needed change to our education system that TIE is aiming for."

A number of celebrities and political figures have endorsed the campaign since its launch in June last year including Scottish Green party leader Patrick Harvie, Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie and Holywood actress Emma Thompson.

A TIE spokesman said: “This is a huge step forward for both our campaign and the LGBTI community.

"Pride Glasgow’s decision to theme their parade - which attracts thousands each year - around TIE sends a clear message to decision makers in Holyrood that the time to create an education system that is fully inclusive of LGBTI identities and issues is now."
