"Hatred and intolerance towards people of different sexual orientation, gender identify or race is an issue for our whole community."

"Only by challenging it at work, in schools, in the street and overseas will we overcome it."

"Last years event was really fun and hopefully this year will be even better."

"Come out and make some noise!"
