Fabian had made up his mind to be a Priest and joined a Franciscan Order in the Catholic Church after leaving school. The interview covers this period of his life, his leaving the Order, aversion therapy and his encounter with the gay movement. He joins Angays, a lobby group within the Anglican Church and later is a founder of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and joins the Gay Liberation Quire. The Sisters played an important role promoting safe sex in the early days of HIV/AIDS and Fabian recalls this and several memorable “manifestations” of the Sisters over the years.
