00:00Who wants to speak? Who wants to speak first? I can't think of what I'm going to say. Go ahead.
00:08Thank you. Whoa, it's loud, isn't it? This is an upgrade.
00:12You just hate me having these.
00:16Because the voice is power, isn't it? It's power.
00:19We've heard some powerful voices today.
00:22I think today has been a beautiful day that shows that we will not back down.
00:27We will not back down in the face of hatred.
00:31Hatred and obscenities.
00:34These people are obscene.
00:36They live in their own worlds, their own private worlds detached from reality.
00:41They call us delusional, but it is they that are delusional.
00:46It is they that are delusional if they think that we won't fight back and resist.
00:51Yes, we will resist.
00:52So we will resist, and I want the entire Inverness and beyond to know that we will resist.
01:00So, join me in some more chanting.
01:03Who strength power streets?
01:18Who strength power streets?
01:23I think, I think crunch.

03:28Hell no, we won't go.
03:35Hell no, we won't go.

03:41Thank you so much for getting a lot of solidarity and love from the streets.
03:48So, today has been a beautiful day.
03:50Beautiful day.
03:52Thank you all for the organizers over here.
03:54They are beautiful.
03:56Absolutely stunning and some of the most best dressed people I have ever seen.
04:03And thank you all for coming.
04:05I know it's hard.
04:06Times are hard.
04:07Times are dark.
04:08But we will get through this.
04:10We got through the pandemic.
04:12We got through many crises before the community.
04:15And we'll get through this one.
04:16And we'll get through this one.
04:17We'll get through this one with pride and solidarity.
04:20We will never be defeated.
04:22When the people are united, we'll never be defeated.
04:26The people united will never be defeated.
04:42So, go fast today.
04:45Go fast today.
04:46Hold your heads held high.
04:49And say to the world, I am me.
04:53I am me.
04:54Authentically me.
04:56I'm proud.
04:58If you don't like that, well, you know what to do with yourself, don't you?
05:08I think, I think love is powerful.
05:12I really believe that.
05:14And I believe that the majority of people support trans, non-binary and intersex people.
05:19There are very loud tickets.
05:22We can be louder.
05:23We can be much, much, much louder, can't we?
