This article discusses the state of homosexuality in Scotland.
Scotland is historically Christian, the national church is the Church of Scotland and it is sympathetic to the the homosexual agenda.[1]
This homosexual agenda is exemplified by:
- the repeal of laws banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools[2]
- The introduction of secular marriage[3]
- the legalisation of same-sex unions[4]
- the adoption of children by homosexuals[5]
- teaching homosexuality in schools[6]
- affirmative action for homosexual soldiers and policemen[7]
- The banning of anti-gay chants at sports events.[8]
This has led the leading conservative Christian Pat Robertson to describe Scotland as "dark country full of homosexuals".[9] However many of these policies were adopted from the United States where they originated.
