“With all the problems currently facing the world, people will struggle to understand why organisations like the Catholic Church are wasting so much money and energy on this homophobic campaign.” Well said Tom French, from the Equality network, in response to the unholy alliance between Keith O’Brien, Bashir Mann, and Gordon Wilson of Solas on [...]

This is one of those posts that you just have to write. You know the ones. When a subject or issue really important to you and close to your heart comes along. For me, its usually something to do with education, but this post strays away from that a little although connected indirectly. To me [...]
