Phil McQuillan (1959 – 2024)

Member of Harbour Faith Community

Phil tells the story of how she inadvertently caused her son to question her support before he came out.

She calls for more sensitivity to the challenges for young LGBTQIA+ people living in NI, especially within a religious or church context. She warns of the dangers and the damage of doing otherwise.

Phil is greatly missed. She was a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church and walked every year with Christians At Pride NI in Belfast Pride.
