THE Chief Executive of Pride Glasgow has given his support for a Yes vote to improve equality.
Alastair Smith, who oversaw the event which attracted more than 7000 people last weekend, said the prospect of a written constitution that enshrines LGBT rights is 'appealing'.
Mr Smith met chief Executive of Yes Scotland Blair Jenkins in Glasgow.
Mr Smith said: "We've seen with the success of the Scottish Parliament that we can create our own solutions to problems.
"The prospect of a written constitution for an independent Scotland that enshrines the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people will be very appealing for Scotland's LGBT communities. Nothing like that is being offered by the No side."
Mr Jenkins welcomed the support and said independence can provide a fairer society for all in Scotland
Mr Jenkins said: '"He's another significant LGBT voice saying that a Yes vote can make Scotland a fairer country."
