You forget Allan, that Scotland, especially rural Scotland is an extremely socially conservative nation.

For the independence campaign to succeed, we need to take all shades of social opinion with us, we must be "all things to all men".
At present this demands the courting of the UK media.....you are politically "savvy", you understand the political class, after independence there will be massive obstacles to overcome, not least the situation regarding Scottish youth and how to make the country seem fair to them.

The issue of homosexual rights has already been addressed, the behaviour has long been decriminalised...quite rightly, and at present they have more legal rights than heteros.

Homosexual "marriage" in church is still under review, but is of no relative importance, as it affects only a tiny minority of a tiny minority.......get real and focus on the big problems which are being cooked up right now by the Great Alliance of UK Labour, Tory,and "Liberal".

There is no doubt in my mind, that the Scottish people will be marginalised, threatened, and punished by an alliance of Westminster parties for having the impudence to institute democracy.
