Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, has predicted gay church weddings will happen in her lifetime.

Davidson is the first openly gay leader of the Scottish Tories and a member of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. In a wide-ranging interview with Pink News she said the Church had “come a really long way in a short time and we already have practising ministers in Scotland who are openly gay”.

She acknowledged the decision was ultimately one for the Church’s general assembly.

“I believe I’ll see it in my lifetime, absolutely,” she added. “I certainly hope so.

“The Church has come a long way very fast. It still has a long way to go but it’s absolutely going in the right direction. I’m very hopeful I’ll be able to see gay church weddings in my lifetime.”
