I also thank the Minister, Deputy Zappone, for walking at the WorldPride event in New York last Sunday. Fifty years on from the Stonewall riots, we have made huge progress in our journey towards equality for members of the LGBTQ+ community. I spoke at an event at Apple last Friday as part of Pride month. I will say again that, while the father of the House and I may not agree on some things, his bravery, flag-carrying and ability to bring people with him on a journey continue to make him deserving of the accolades he receives.I know he does not like to hear that.
