I knew Janey Buchan in her role of patron of Outright Scotland, a strident supporter of gay rights in Scotland and beyond. A former MEP and anti-apartheid campaigner Janey was the partner of Norman and mother of Alasdair.
However she was a Scottish Labour Party member so a leader for many. When Janey became a patron for Outright Scotland it was at a time when gay rights were not at the forefront of political values or agendas. Janey was a consistent fighter for those facing prejudice in any of its forms. Oh how we need a Janey Buchan today!
