Scottish health secretary Humza Yousaf has said he doesn't use his faith as a basis of legislation, after SNP leadership rival Kate Forbes revealed she would have voted against the Scottish Parliament’s Equal Marriage Bill.

The health secretary also described possibility of the Scottish Greens pulling out the Bute House deal if Kate Forbes became First Minister as ‘disastrous’, telling Marr:

He added: "But frankly speaking, it would do enormous damage to the independence movement, if we had two parties that were working well together, split up, have that divorce, frankly, and that's not going to go down well for anybody… I think the Green deal has been great for not just for the government, but actually we've brought forward some really radical reforms. So, I'm a great supporter of it.

She told the outlet: "In terms of the morality of the issue I am a practising Christian and I practice the teachings of most mainstream religions - whether that is Islam, Judaism or Christianity - that marriage is between a man and a woman. But that's what I practice.

Says the man who hates white men having a job in scotchland

So a Christian can’t get elected in Scotland but a Muslim can? We’re so fucked.

Anyone mixing religion and politics is best avoided. Especially Christians. Always full of hate and bigotry.

He’s cheeky, I’ll give him that
