and deserve nothing
but the best this year

better then the Last

45. Shane's story and his bravery reached us in Europe
and really helped make the concept of equal rights
real and relevant. It reminded me as a parent of
just how important it is to make your child aware
from an early age that whether they, or their
friends, grow up to be gay, straight (or any where
else on the rainbow) then that is absolutely fine-
that we only want them to be themselves. Alex at
age 6 found Shane's story to be so inspirational to
him, he loved watching videos of Shane and Tom
together and was enthused to go into school and
tell all his friends about equal marriage and equal
rights. Happy birthday Shane.
Fiona and Alex

46. Shane: You are a inspiration to me touching
my mind and heart in more ways that you can
imagine. Due to you I can no longer sit on the
sidelines and do nothing. So I will start off by
wishing someone who I call a friend a most
happiest of Birthdays ever.. I hope you take
some time for yourself today and let the love,
support and encouragement flow into you from
all of us.
Love You LOTS….
Thomas Canty
