This letter to the editor from The Very Reverend Richard Humphrey, Dean of Hobart, appeared in The Mercury today:

Equality for all

Your cartoon (Mercury, September 20) suggests anyone who opposes the proposed redefinition of marriage has no right to speak This is contradictory in a debate about equality and rights. Further, we are told to mind our own business, yet it is a minority who seek to irrevocably change what marriage means for the rest of the community, and with it the understanding of family. The Anglican Church in Tasmania has supported same-sex relationships and advocated for protection from discrimination of same-sex couples legislation. We also will continue to uphold marriage as taught by Jesus and defined in law as between a man and woman.”
