# Stephen Fry is a lovely man

Gave an award to Stephen Fry today for the [Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association](http://www.galha.org "Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association") (GALHA) – he really is a lovely man. His acceptance speech departed from an E M Forster quote I had used to introduce him into a beautiful and erudite discourse on the things that are really important in life – friendship, curiosity, kindness – and how humanists and perhaps LGBT humanists in particular are well placed to appreciate this. You can read about the award on the [GALHA website](http://www.galha.org/stephen-fry-wins-2009-award-from-gay-humanists "Stephen Fry award on GALHA site").
