TORY HOPEFUL: GAY MARRIAGE IS STILL WRONG

Candidate doubles down on belief

- PAUL HUTCHEON

A TORY MSP running to lead his party has been slammed after doubling down on his opposition to gay rights.

Murdo Fraser, whose campaign slogan is "real change", said he is still against gay marriage 10 years after voting against the historic equality measure.

Labour MSP Paul O'Kane, who is in a same-sex marriage, said: "The sad part is someone could look at 10 years of equal marriage and be unable to see the immense joy that those rights have brought for people who love one another, our families and friends.
