‘The security of knowing that West Lothian Council supports its LGBT employees just lets me get on with my job. The council is really proactive in working to promote diversity through the LGBT network, welcoming involvement in policy and participating in Pride. Any employer can write policy; it’s how it’s implemented that matters.’
