Thomas Mousin, live in Portland, where Mousin serves as rector of St. Peter’s Church in Portland, and as a chaplain at Hospice of Southern Maine. The blessing of their civil union in 2003 was an occasion for the Diocese of Vermont to help lead the Episcopal Church to full inclusion of LGBTQ+ people. When they are not in the beautiful state of Maine they’re on Round Island in the Thousand Islands region of New York, a place they’ve spent time for two decades.
