In FULL support of Stonewall Cymru's anti-bullying campaign

Signing the pledge in Llanelli.
This week I am delighted to take part in Stonewall Cymru’s anti-bullying week. Please visit http://nobystanders.org.uk/ for more information.

This is such an important campaign and one in which we should all play and active part. I was stunned and indeed saddened to discover that this year 75,000 young people will be bullied because they’re gay. 21,000 will attempt suicide. These figures are truly shocking and show that much needs to be done to ensure equality for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual communities – we must strive for equality for all.

Therefore, I urge as many people as possible to support this important campaign and to commend the important and tireless work undertaken by Stonewall Cymru in protecting our young people from harm.

Genuinely, best wishes from me personally and from the whole Plaid Cymru team here in Llanelli!

“We came equals into this world, and equals shall we go out of it.
