UKIP’s most senior gay politician David Coburn has claimed other political parties want to ban sex.

A Scottish MEP, he made the claim during BBC Scotland’s 2014 retrospective The Rory Review hosted by comic Rory Bremner.

He said: ‘If you want an authoritarian party, there’s nobody more authoritarian than the Lib Dems or Labour party.

‘They’ll tell you eat your five a day, no smoking, no drinking, no sex, no nothing.

When questioned on banning sex, he added: ‘They’re getting round to it, what I call the equality Nazis, people who want everyone to fit into their stereotypes.

Bremner then joked: ‘Where do you even begin to reason with that?’

Coburn is against same-sex marriage, claiming it breeds homophobia.

‘What you’re doing with the gay marriage issue is you’re rubbing people’s noses in the dirt,’ he said in October 2014.

‘It’s the equality Nazis trying to give Christianity a jolly good kicking. You know it, I know it, we all know it – it’s false bollocks, the lot of it.’

‘It’s just for some queen who wants to dress up in a bridal frock and in a big moustache and dance up the aisle to the Village People.’

Among the five main parties (Labour, Lib Dem, Conservative, Green, UKIP), UKIP’s leader Nigel Farage is the only one to oppose same-sex marriage.
