All you said was she thinks having children out of wedlock is wrong, giving the example of you, and you wouldn't let her in your house.

If there's something I'm missing then I'll eat humble pie, but I don't think there is?

There was, yeah. Try again.

Of course she does.  She believes children should be conceived within a marriage.

What’s wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong with saying that.

There's also nothing wrong in saying she's totally out of touch and doesn't deserve the support of the 21st century individual.

Because it makes you a c**t.  It means you think children should be judged on the actions of 2 people they had no influence on.  It suggests 2 people can’t bring up a child even if they have the best of knowledge and intentions compared to couple who have neither based on a momentary ceremony.

No one is suggesting judging a child.

It doesn't suggest anything of the sort, except in the minds of professional victims/ambulance chasers. 

'Religious people want people to marry before having sex and children' is really not a fucking revelation here and it is not actually an insult towards anyone who didn't.

LGBT rights aren't (particularly for the T part of that equation) and Kate Forbes has made it very clear she won't be progressing them and would vote against them if given the chance. That would have a direct impact on people's lives in years to come.

It's perfectly normal not to want to vote for someone on that basis. If you have different priorities that's fine but voting based on who believes in your rights or the rights of your loved ones is a perfectly good reason. 

I think you'll find she specifically said completely the opposite.

Readers should not misinterpret this pile on as being representative and simply shouting BIGOT as some have indulged themselves, well that says more about them than they'd like to admit.

Out of the three candidates, there's every chance Kate Forbes will prove to be the one with the tools to persuade enough to get us consistently over 50%

It's hardly a gotcha. Or at least it shouldn't be. I see he wasn't exactly convincing when asked by Chirs Musson today:

If he cannot give a straight answer to what should be a fairly straight forward question It's a bit concerning. I'm not sure the "I do not remember" line will cut it. Although Sturgeon was fond of saying she couldn't recollect tbf.

 

He did answer the question clearly though. It is right there.

Q- Another Yes/No question.Did you have a conversation with Alex Salmond to ask to skip the vote because of pressure from religious leaders? 

A - No,I've told you very,very clear. I do not remember any conversation with Alex Salmond about the equal marriage vote. I'm sure we spoke about equal marriage, just as I would have spoken, I'm certain, with other government ministers.

If you take out the part where he tells the journalist that the question has been asked and answered he then gives a very firm answer. There was no conversation with Alex Salmond about skipping the vote.

Saying you don’t “remember” something is very careful wording in politician speak…

Answering a Yes/No question with No is pretty definitive.

Some context needed because No could mean he had the conversation but there was no religious pressure. Really it is very stupid to frame a question with several parts as a yes/no question. The journalist who asked it is probably a roaster imo
