I think people being loving and intimate with each other is beautiful. The idea that two lovers kissing on a park bench is some sort of affront to public decency is genuinely obscene to me. I think public affection actually makes the world better.

No-one should be made scared to march in defence of their community, and in celebration of who they truly are.
