The group Concerned Adults Talking Openly About Gender Identity Ideology were forced to raise £600 to employ security guards and call in the police when they arranged a meeting in Portobello Library in Edinburgh to discuss concerns over the teaching of trans ideology in schools.
Over 150 counter-protesters turned out to oppose the meeting, hurling abuse at those attending and creating what was described as a "hostile atmosphere".
The police had to step in and control who could enter the building after security guards had to remove counter-protesters who had tried to occupy the venue in order to cancel the event.
The Unison union and the local Green councillor also attempted to put pressure on the council to ban the meeting.
We are seeing a growing intolerance to free speech in our nation and this needs to be opposed. Join us in fighting to preserve free speech in Scotland.
