Comedian Julian Clary hits out at Scottish Catholic Church over gay marriage

JULIAN CLARY has launched an outspoken attack on the Scottish Catholic Church over their campaign against same-sex marriage.

The camp comic, who won Celebrity Big Brother, is on tour in Scotland. He pretends to marry a man from the audience at each gig as a comment about the row.

He is incensed the Catholic Church have tried to scupper SNP plans to legalise same-sex weddings by 2015.

Julian, 53, who lives with partner Ian in Ashford, Kent, promised he’d be “first in the queue” for a church wedding if Scotland became the first place in the UK to have same-sex religious ceremonies.

The comic, who was raised a Catholic, said: “Given there are so many gay people in the Catholic church, I thought they’d be all for it. It’s fear and ignorance masquerading as intelligent opinion. They should get their house in order before they tell gay men how to live. It doesn’t really affect them so they should shut up.”
 
Julian kicked off the Scots leg of his tour in Aberdeen last night before playing Perth tonight, Berwick on Friday, Edinburgh on Saturday and Glasgow on Sunday.
