The LGBT Network was an LGBT rights charity based in Scotland.[1]

The LGBT Network was founded as a not for profit organisation in April 2008 and operated throughout Europe and was credited with launching a petition for same-sex marriage at the Scottish Parliament in January 2009.[2]

The Chairperson of the LGBT Network was Rob McDowall, who is Director of SIACC, Board Member of [3] and a member of the Equality Council.

McDowall launched a petition in 2008[4] calling on the Scottish Parliament to lift the ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood.[5][6][7][8] The petition received high level support from Ross Finnie MSP, Alyn Smith MEP and Struan Stevenson MEP.[5]
