As a gentleman, I will not allow misogyny to impact my treatment of women.
I recognise that society is unfair to women and I commit myself to strive for gender equality.
I understand that sexuality is not a choice and I will respect other people’s personal choices and constitutional rights.
I will strive to be inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community and I condemn the use of homophobic slurs.
I will respect the beliefs and religions of others and will not be dismissive of the beliefs of others.
