Gordon Wilson, who led the party for 11 years until 1990, caused controversy at the weekend when he said the Scottish Government's plans for gay marriage amounted to "state fascism". A lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) group warned it may report him to the party leadership if he repeats his comments at a fringe meeting in Perth today. Out for Independence is seeking an apology from Mr Wilson and assurances about the conduct of the meeting.
