A thank you to everyone who came along to my fundraiser evening in Pantibar and the George on Wednesday! Special thanks to Panti and Veda and all who helped out! My campaign is starting to take off.It was great to meet and speak with so many people who share my belief that equality for LGBT people should be a top of the agenda. I’m resolute in my belief that equality is a cornerstone of progressive societies, we should tell our government that equality costs nothing and in times of economic hardship, there is still need for advances in social change.
