So you are allowed to have a religion in this country but only if you do not express it's views publicly 

Of course you can have your religion, and you do have freedom of expression as Forbes has demonstrated time and again in the last few days. Just don't expect people to agree with you, or vote with you.

I’m not sure why we’re still having the ‘so you can’t be religious and be a politician’ debate when Humza Yousaf is literally also a candidate. You’d presume on religious grounds he essentially agrees with Kate Forbes for his personal life but has consistently backed gay marriage, abortion and trans rights in parliament. 

All Forbes had to say is she wouldn’t practice these things herself but appreciates the country at large doesn’t work like that. And when directly asked whether she’d vote for gay marriage… yeah, maybe she should’ve lied?

A politician lying? That will never catch on. Have a word with yourself for even suggesting in might happen.

I dunno, the Church Elders might have taken away her TV or something if she tried that?

Scotland should become a less  "intolerant, partisan, authoritarian hellhole" by electing a first minister that believes that.. *clears throat, pushes glasses up nose* ahem.. gay people shouldn't marry and that transgender people shouldn't exist?

You're ok with the witch hunt then?

Respect Kinky, branching out into multicultural sectarianism, quite the inclusionary!

Wild take there, Welshy.  But unsurprising.

Neither of these positions is held by Kate Forbes.
