MSPs are hiring interns from a right-wing American university that refuses to enrol openly gay students.
Scottish taxpayers are helping fund the placements from Brigham Young in Utah, a Mormon institution which has a zero tolerance policy on “homosexual conduct”.
SSP MSP Carolyn Leckie said that she too hoped that the parliament did not have links with any homophobic organisation.
“I would condemn any university that practices discrimination. It should be clear from the parliament that this is unacceptable. We should also be forging links with universities that are less elitist,” she said.
