A very special Christmas moment : my mother's brother Jack Clegg was killed in action in the final weeks of WW2 & is buried in Venray, Netherlands. On Christmas Eve the kind people of the Stichting Adoptiegraven CWGC Venray War Cemetery recall lives lost & at rest in Dutch soil.

People are like "gays don't belong in the church" but I'm just saying... the church has assigned every single day of the year a colour, and the priests are supposed to dress to match it, and you're telling me that STRAIGHT PEOPLE came up with that???

Pleased to share an album-version video, just in time for your Thanksgiving viewing.
Whatever else you do this week, I hope you find time for peace and gratitude, taking stock of simple pleasures of life, in the midst of challenging times.

Today (20 November) is Trangender Day of Remembrance: a day to acknowledge the lives of trans people lost to violence and suicide in the past year. Negative press, transphobia and ignorance are driving despair.
