Award-winning Scottish comedian Rhona Cameron has been officially announced as the keynote speaker at Humanist Society Scotland Annual Conference in Edinburgh.

The Conference will take place in Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh on Saturday 24th September.

Speaking on her announcement as keynote speaker, Rhona commented:

” I am delighted to let you know that I’ll be attending HSS’ Annual Conference this year as Keynote Speaker!

“HSS have done so much work over the years to promote LGBTI equality, and of course provide Humanist Ceremonies to thousands of couples every year.

“Of course this is an issue close to my heart, and I will be giving an insight into my own experiences growing up in the east coast of Scotland and dealing with my sexuality in a less understanding era than now.”

HSS Chief Executive Gordon MacRae added:

“We are so happy that Rhona will be speaking at our conference. Rhona is a proud advocate for LGBTI rights in Scotland, and and award winning comedian.

“We look forward to welcoming her to the 2016 Annual Conference for Humanists in Scotland.”
