Scotland's first openly gay footballer posted homophobic books from Loyalist group

SCOTLAND’S first openly gay footballer has hit back after being sent hateful material published by a Loyalist group who described homosexuality as a “sin”.

On his Twitter account, Zander Murray posted pictures of the package sent to him containing material published by the Northern Ireland-based group The Lord’s Work Trust – including a 16-page booklet called “Homosexuality in light of the bible”.

The pamphlet claims Aids proved homosexuality was “worse than smoking” because of the health impact of the Aids epidemic and accuses gay men of being more likely than straight men to be paedophiles.
