When I agree practically with Stonewall.


Read this over at my new blog!

 Thanks for reading! I'd love you to connect with me via Twitter or Facebook. I had the privilege of hearing Justin Welby at Church just before he was enthroned as Archbishop - read about that here. For more on the C of E's attitude to sexuality, do read my review of 'The Way Forward', edited by Timothy Bradshaw.

    "Nuanced understanding of the issue that Stonewall [has]". Bahahahah! Good one, Tom.

      Hi Anonymous, thanks for the comment.

      I maybe didn't make it clear - I do think stonewall are wrong and undemocratic, but on this issue they are actually doing something. Yes, with the wrong motivation, but I think we can learn some practical lessons, hence my post....

      Thanks again for the comment.

    Interesting thoughts. I think there are two extreme camps on the issue of homosexuality and homosexuals, neither of which really listen to moderate views. I am very much against bullying so in a sense I support this attempt to reduce it. It should be remembered though that a lot of people will use 'gay' as an insult for example, without actually thinking the other person is gay.

      Hi Steve, thanks for the comment. I think you are probably right, and I for one am trying to build bridges and listen, whilst also being clear.

      with you against bullying, and I think you make a good point about using words.

      Thanks for commenting!
