Such wonderful news!

Here is an article that doesn't give primacy* to the opinions of misogynist homophobes:

And if you are looking for more hopeful news, in August, the latest Archbishop of Wales was appointed. Cherry Vann was the first female archbishop in the UK, and is an out lesbian.

* Pun intended!
