It's been a while since I've written anything here, but I'm delighted to see how many people are still signing up.With Fred Goodwin being stripped of his knighthood this sets a precedent that shamed public figures can lose the honours that they don't deserve. They don't come any more shamed than the homophobic bigot that is Brian Souter. It is an insult to LGBT people everywhere that this disgraceful man has been knighted.Let's increase the pressure on the Honours Committee to remove Mr Souter's shameful honour.

Thank you to everyone who has been signing and reposting this! A big thank you also to the NUS Scotland for their tremendous support for this campaign. It just goes to show what can happen when we all work together for a common cause.
The fight against this bigoted man getting such a high honour has only just begun. Please keep spreading the word and show the Government that we will not stand by and let homophobia be rewarded.
Love,
Ross Chmiel

We are now at 1,600 signatures! This is amazing - keep up the good work and spread the word to as many people as you can. Brian Souter ran a vile campaign of lies against gay people and his Knighthood is an insult to all LGBT people and our straight friends who support equality.LoveRoss Chmiel
