Reasons to be thankful this Christmas
*by Adrian Tippetts* * * Among some atheists, there is a certain squeamishness about wishing someone a ‘Merry Christmas’. This is silly. Personally, I’m happy to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to one and all over this festive season of goodwill, without believing a word of it. It’s a greeting we have inherited from our culture.

Speaking out about homophobia in other cultures
By Adrian Tippetts Last weekend, I met up with a few LGBT campaigners for coffee. In such a group of hotheads, small talk soon gave way to intense discussion on how to achieve greater equality. All was fine, until I brought up the name ‘Peter Tatchell’. “Peter’s a divisive figure”, my discussion partner exclaimed. “His campaigning for gay rights in Africa smacks of colonialism. It comes across as a white man telling former dependencies what to do, and this will lead to more repression.
