If all people aren't treated fairly then nobody is

Speaking on this issue in a Faith context requires a great deal of courage. I could not find fault with anything said other than to applaud every word. It is not tolerance we seek rather acceptance. An impressive presentation for which I am personally grateful.

My only issue is the difference between LGB issues, and T issues. None of what he said referred to the Church and Christians attitudes towards trans* people being trans*, only people falling on love with members of the same gender. So he should not have used 'LGBT' or included reference to transgender people.
