There is a lot going on in the world today that causes me a great deal of upset. And I find it harder day by day to keep silent about a great many of these issues.

‘Some people say we are living in a post-homophobic culture,’ Brad Windhauser says. ‘We might be getting better, but we aren’t there yet.’
