30,000 oppose gay marriage legislation

An online petition opposing plans to legalise same-sex marriage has attracted around 30,000 signatures, campaigners said.

The Scottish Government announced in July it proposed bringing in legislation to allow same-sex couples to wed. Ministers said it was the "right thing to do" and the move received backing from equality campaigners and cross-party support at Holyrood.
