        Why does it matter if he was gay? He was texting a teenager illicit messages. His sexuality is irrelevant. He shouldn't have been doing it in the first place!

        It’s not love which is in question here. It’s the fact that he was hitting on a teenage boy of legal age but also having kids of his own of a similar age group. This throws a dark cloud over his behaviour, plus being in the public eye within Scottish Politics.

        Come on @PinkNews Do we really need to feed the homophobes? I’m not at all condoning what he did but that’s unnecessarily provocative as a header

        Mate they don’t listen to the views of folk like us who continually pull them up for bad journalism. Plus they’ll refuse to answer questions, and instead try piss poor reverse psychology on you if you dare criticise them.

        Why does his sexuality matter? It’s his conduct that is disgusting.

        Who here in their 40’s & above who grew up fatherless or had no real relationship with their father, and always looked upto older men for guidance, comfort, and emotional support? Not condoning his actions. But not good for one’s career or reputation. The teen was of legal age.
