Cole-Hamilton responds to Murdo Fraser’s continued opposition to same-sex marriage
23 Aug 2024
Responding to Murdo Fraser’s comments that he still opposes same-sex marriage, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:
“Equal marriage was a landmark moment of progress for Scotland. On the day this Parliament voted for it, rights and freedoms were born that should never be taken for granted.
“Everyone is entitled to hold their own faith-based views, but when those views start to shape political judgements and decisions, they deserve to be scrutinised.
“Scottish Liberal Democrats were in the vanguard of delivering same-sex marriage and we will continue to fight for the rights of the LGBT+ community without hesitation.”
