Father Stuart SoleyTo all our supporters and commenters - a huge thank you! Thank you for your heartfelt messages of support and encouragement. Thank you also - as we try - in some small way - to change the conversation that has hurt so many people. Onwards!11y

John StewartCongratulations Fr Stuart. What a vision this is and what a statement it makes to the wider community. In much gratitude.11y

Colleen O'ReillyGay people are not 'them' - they are us. They are our uncles and aunts, our sisters and brothers, our children and sometimes our parents. They are the young woman who sold us those comfortable walking shoes and the accountant who sorted our tax. They are the composers of our favourite music, the artists whose work make our hearts sing. They are the person in the pew behind us and our clergy, and even sometimes, the bishop. They are not them, wonderfully, everywhere, every day they are us.11y
