Stand up for the love rights of gays and of people who have disabilities

FULL equality for gay, lesbian, and transgender people has been described as the last civil and human rights campaign. I support that proposition.

We will have a referendum, probably next year, to enable gay people to be married. I hope to participate in the campaign for a ‘yes’ vote.

All of this raises fear, of course, and we’ve seen ample evidence of that in the last couple of weeks. Fear and homophobia are a lethal mix. And, naturally, it’s not helped by stupidity.
