You don’t meet people like Thomas very often. They leave an indelible mark on you. I met Thomas when he was 17 and leading our ⁦@AMEquality⁩ ⁦@EqualityAu⁩ volunteers in Toowoomba. He was brave, bold and bright. This is just so very sad. thechronicle.com.au/news/toowoomba…

Thomas was an extraordinary young man with an energy and passion for equality was that contagious. I was honoured to work alongside him during the Equality Campaign. And long after his tragic passing, his bravery and commitment will continue to inspire me. qnews.com.au/young-toowoomb…

He leaves a lasting legacy for which we are immensely grateful. Our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with his mum Jo, friends and entire community.

He was instrumental in leading the Toowoomba YES campaign and worked tirelessly as an advocate for equality in his community. Thomas was one of the many inspirational young people across the nation who worked with their communities to shape a better future for us all.

Vale Thomas Coyne, Toowoomba marriage equality campaigner and local hero. Thomas represented the heart and soul of the marriage equality movement. qnews.com.au/young-toowoomb…
