GAY TRUTH

Several prominent MSPs could lose their seats over their support for same-sex marriage, a campaign group has warned. In ten constituencies, the number of people who are against gay marriage is greater than the MSPs' respective majorities, according to a list produced by Scotland for Marriage. Three senior MSPs from the Scottish National Party appear on the list - Gil Paterson , Sandra White and Marco Biagi - along with the former Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray.
