I assume that the majority of you are people who don’t believe that to love someone you must possess the opposite genetalia. I assume that the majority of you are people who have a firm seated belief that love is genderless, that love knows no labels, no borders, no boundaries. You’re the kind of person who knows that equality is justice and justice is humanity’s last and only great pillar, its final foundation in a world where religious creed and fanatic ignorance provide a hurdle that we must overcome if we intend to live forever as a species and as a civilisation.
