We are devastated that Christina McKelvie has passed. Christina was a remarkable woman: a force of nature, compassionate, and incredibly warm. We shared many values with her and know how committed Christina was to social justice, equality, and to doing everything she could to make Scotland the best it could be. In doing so, she was the best of us. Christina was a formidable Member of the Scottish Parliament and one of the earliest supporters of our work. She played a pivotal role in ensuring that Scotland became the first country in the world to advance LGBT Inclusive Education. We will cherish the memories that we were privileged to create with her. Our thoughts are with Keith, Jack, Lewis and all who knew and loved her. We will miss you, Christina. - Jordan & Liam, Directors and Co-Founders of Time for Inclusive Education (TIE)

Delighted to collaborate with @eisunion.bsky.social on their “Stories of Section 28/2A” event, where we previewed a new teaching resource and heard members’ stories.

It was, as always, an honour to be in the presence of some of the tenacious campaigners who fought to repeal Section 28 in Scotland.
