Kate Forbes refuses to quit SNP leadership race following storm over gay marriage comments
Kate Forbes has refused to quit the SNP leadership race following a storm over her comments about gay marriage.
Asked if her campaign was over before it had properly started, Forbes said today: "Absolutely not. We have a large membership, most of whom are not on Twitter. "In the same way, I hope that others can be afforded the right, as people of faith, to practice fairly mainstream teaching - and that is the nuance that needs catching.
Asked about equal marriage, she had said: "I believe that it should be a conscience vote because of its profound significance in all mainstream faiths," she said.
