(Sky News) One of three candidates vying to take over from Nicola Sturgeon as leader of the SNP says his absence from a key vote on gay marriage is being “dragged up” for political reasons.
Humza Yousaf told Sky News that his abstention from the final vote on equal marriage in Scotland in 2014 is being raised by “people who are supporting other candidates.”
That “probably tells you the motivation behind it,” he added.
Asked twice whether gay sex is a sin, Mr Yousaf, a practising Muslim who says he will be fasting during Ramadan, replied: “No.”
