By Stephen O'Hare in Scotland: An investigation by Scotland Yard into whether a gay group’s advert is a faith crime has been backed by the Catholic Church.
The advert, showing a Bible next to a pool of blood under the headline 'In the name of the father,' was produced by the Gay Police Association and published in a national newspaper.
Alongside the picture is the claim that a rise in homophobic attacks was due to religious beliefs. The Catholic Church in Scotland said it supported the investigation, describing the advert as "outrageous and intolerant."
Peter Kearney, spokesman for the Scottish bishops, said: "This is exactly the kind of intolerance that gay groups claim they are trying to clamp down on.
