Kirsty Gilmour shared her pride at the honour.
Glasgow athlete Kirsty Gilmour waved the saltire for LGBT athletes on behalf of Team Scotland, at the opening ceremony of this year's CommonWealth Games in Birmingham.
“It shouldn't be something that's seen negatively because it's just a little bit . I've surrounded myself with really good people and that goes for the badminton community as well. Kirsty initially posted the LGBT flag on her social media, as a way of testing the waters, and after her success she hopes it can be an inspiration to fellow athletes contemplating whether to go public.
