Susan and Gerrie Douglas-Scott became the first lesbian couple to marry in Scotland, after they both came out as gay in their late 30鈥檚. They had a civil partnership in 2006, with Scottish first Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Scottish Green Party co-convener Patrick Harvie MSP acting as witnesses at their wedding.

Susan says she 鈥渄idn鈥檛 realise lesbianism existed鈥� when she was growing up and that she had no lesbian role models to look up to at the time.

Gerrie says that being gay was 鈥渢otally invisible鈥� to her but when she realised it was a 鈥渇antastic, freeing, moment鈥� where 鈥渢he whole world seemed to make sense鈥�.

The couple have five grown up children between them and say they鈥檝e been 鈥渁mazing鈥� and really supportive.
