Moray Council's flying the Rainbow Pride flag above its HQ in Elgin in tribute to the victims of the Orlando nightclub massacre in which 49 people were killed.

Moray MP Angus Robertson said: “The attack in Orlando was utterly horrific and an unimaginable horror for the victims and everyone close to them. The flying of the rainbow flag in Moray marks our solidarity with those affected by this terrible act.

“This act of extreme hate is a stark reminder of the prejudice and discrimination that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people continue to face. We all have a responsibility to challenge the culture of homophobia and all other forms of prejudice that exist in society, in all its forms.”
