To all of our LGBT+ organisations, groups and community services around the country, to all of those in frontline services and first responders, to all the staff keeping shelves stocked and all those looking out for their families and neighbours in these trying times, and to all of you, dear readers, we stand with you and will work with you to get our LGBT+ family and country through this as safely as possible.
