" "[On having children outside marriage.] It's entirely up to them. It's something that I would seek to avoid for me personally.
But it doesn't fuss me, it doesn't put me up nor down. The choices that other people make is [up to them].
In terms of my faith, my faith would say that sex is for marriage and that's the approach that I would practice. [...]
For me, it would be wrong according to my faith, but for you I have no idea what your faith is. So, in a free society you can do what you want.

Additional quotes by Kate Forbes
[After Forbes said she would have voted against same-sex marriage in the Scottish parliament if she had been a MSP in 2014] In practice, I think you couldn't get elected leader of the Conservative Party now, with the view that she has, so try getting elected leader of a more left-wing party with that view, that's the difficulty that she’s got.

[On same-sex marriage.] My position on these matters is I will defend to the hilt everybody's right in a pluralistic and tolerant society to live and to love free of harassment and fear.
And in the same way I hope that others can be afforded the rights of people of faith to practice fairly mainstream teaching. And that is the nuance that we need to capture on equal marriage.
Equal marriages is a legal right, and as a servant of democracy, rather than a dictator, I absolutely respect and defend that democratic right.
