What’s behind the war on the innocence of children?

Image
Safe Schools (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Australia; Victoria has become the epicentre of a bizarre war on the innocence of children driven by an LGBTIQ agenda about which parents are kept deliberately clueless. In this week’s E-news you can read ACL Victorian Director   Dan Flynn’s responses to the latest revelations   about what will become compulsory through the so called “Respectful Relationships” program. Victoria is where the so-called “ Safe Schools ” program originated and “Respectful Relationships” draws from the same rainbow ideology. It is extreme sexual expressionism taught to high school students as normal all dressed up as an anti-domestic violence initiative. It is unclear how the normalisation of often degrading sexual acts helps in the war against domestic violence or helps boys learn respect for girls. In this week’s E-news we also release   a new paper that delves in detail behind the ideology that is driving “Safe Schools” and “Respectful Relationshi

Australia: To marriage ‘equality’ militants: Take our olive branch and shove it

People seem to forget that the marriage plebiscite was offered as a compromise by social conservatives to deal with an issue which has dogged politics for a decade. There have been 18 failed attempts to push same-sex marriage through parliament since 2004. When does no mean no? For defenders of traditional marriage, the plebiscite was a significant concession and a risk they didn’t need to take.  But if the other side doesn’t want to come half way, then so be it. Take our olive branch and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Lyle Shelton from the Australian Christian Lobby .   “I never thought I would be meeting secretly in this country in my lifetime,” says Lyle Shelton, managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby. “It’s not the Australia I grew up in or the Australia I want for my children.” Shelton says his receptionist at ACL’s Canberra offices is regularly distressed by abusive phone calls. Uninvited visitors have intimidated staff. ACL now has to lock its d

Australia: Warren Entsch rejects conservatives' call for 'right to refuse' gay weddings

Image
Liberal MP Warren Entsch has called for exemptions to discrimination law for same-sex marriage to be “as narrow as possible”, rejecting calls by conservatives to allow businesses the “right to refuse” gay weddings. Entsch told Guardian Australia that only ministers of religion and religious organisations should be able to refuse gay weddings, not other providers of goods and services . Liberal National party MP George Christensen has called for venues, photographers and bakers to be allowed to refuse gay weddings, and senator Cory Bernardi said all businesses should be free to refuse service to anyone for any reason at all. Cory Bernardi says all businesses should be free to refuse service to anyone The ambit claims by the two conservatives set them on a collision course with the attorney general, George Brandis, who is believed to favour narrower protections for religious organisations and civil celebrants. Entsch said: “We’ve always said protections for religious organisat

Q&A shows why same-sex marriage opponents need campaign funding

Last year, Coalition ministers were banned temporarily from appearing on the ABC ’s Q&A   program by then prime minister Tony Abbott . After the treatment received by Regional Development Minister Fiona Nash on   Q&A  last Monday, it remains to be seen if some Coalition ministers will implement a private boycott and avoid appearing before presenter Tony Jones and the program’s invariably left-stacked baying audiences . In recent years, many ABC programs have been obsessed with the issue of what some call same-sex marriage and others term marriage equality. So there was no surprise on Monday evening when Jones called the first question on this topic, which occupied about a third of the program. Comedian and actress Magda Szubanski was asked to respond to the first question from the audience about the plebiscite and all that. She declared that “a lot of us in the LGBTQI community ” did not want a plebiscite and argued that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer an

Printer intimidated by book?

Image
A printer has reportedly pulled out from publishing a book on same sex marriage written by a Toowoomba doctor because of its controversial subject matter. Television host Andrew Bolt , speaking on Sky News , said the printer had previously agreed to print the book, which argues against homosexual marriage . The book, named "Stealing From a Child: The Injustice of Marriage Equality" was written by Dr David van Gend and is due to be officially launched at a function in Brisbane tonight. groups are planning to protest the book, arguing it is inflammatory and denigrates gay people. The book has the support of the Australian Marriage Forum, of which Dr van Gend is president, and former Toowoomba councillor Lyle Shelton from the Australian Christian Lobby .

Australia: Gay Activists make death threats against Christian Organization and Hotel staff

They also got a glimpse of what will happen to their freedom of speech and freedom of association should marriage ever be redefined in law. It simply will not be possible to publicly hold a dissenting view without facing demonisation at best and legal action at worst. The viscous intimidation of staff at the Sydney Airport Mercure Hotel brought to light one of the long-standing and key tactics of same-sex marriage advocates for shutting down debate. The Mercure Hotel said that their staff were “rattled” by the phone calls and abuse they copped when activists started targeting them for hosting a pro-marriage event. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney , the Anglican Diocese of Sydney , the advocacy group Marriage Alliance and ACL had booked a meeting room to hold a campaign briefing for more than 100 coalition partner groups. The meeting was scheduled for tonight and is going ahead at a different location. Sadly, we have to meet in secret. I don’t think this is the sort of Aust

Australia: LGBT Violent trashing of Senator’s office un-Australian

Image
English: , Liberal Senator for South Australia (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The violent trashing today of Senator Cory Bernardi ’s Adelaide office by protestors supporting the Safe Schools program demonstrates a disturbing lack of tolerance among rainbow activists, according to the Australian Christian Lobby. ACL Managing Director Lyle Shelton said while everyone has a right to express their views on the Safe Schools program no one should resort to violence or bullying . “ Storming the office and intimidating staff with violent action while Senator Bernardi is away in Canberra for Parliament is despicable and cowardly behaviour,” Mr Shelton said. “Senator Bernardi has raised valid concerns about the Safe Schools program and in a civil society these should be allowed to be debated on their merits.“It is ironic that the protestors say that they are against any forms of bullying yet they themselves are resorting to bullying and standover tactics. “Same-sex political activists nee

Old gay Suicide Argument trotted out again on Q&A

A confused homosexual student has made a plea for politicians to stop using "children as political bullets" and stand up for the Safe Schools anti-bullying program. Unfortunately, this program is not about bullying at all. This program is all about indoctrinating the LGBT agenda into the minds of children. The LGBT agenda is about deception, lies and falsehoods. The Safe Schools program, designed to teach students about not bullying is really about promoting sexual and gender diversity and creating the climate for hate laws -homophobia, will undergo content changes and only be used in high schools after a Government review sparked by concerns from conservative MPs senators and thousands of families across Australia . Minister Josh Frydenberg said while he was "moved" by the student comments though illogical and immature, he understood the mental health issues facing some young people, he stood by the Government's stance on Safe Schools. The mental health

Aussie Safe Schools NOT safe but LGBT agenda

Eternity has been looking for some Christians who respond to the public rather than talking amongst ourselves. Here’s two of the better responses we’ve found. What I’d say to the public about Safe Schools, by Nathan Campbell Rule two in public relations is understand your key message — your contribution to the public — and stick to it. Rule three is understand your audience; this requires listening to your ‘public’ before speaking, and specifically the ‘public’ who are listening because they have a vested interest in the conversation; in this case, the LGBTIQA community and their advocates. Rule four is understand how to communicate your message to your ‘public’ — our neighbours — on this basis. Christians worship Jesus . This changes how we see the world, including how we see our neighbours. This change only comes

First Aussie PM participates in open homosexual explicit March

Hot on the heels of a Federal election will be a plebiscite to redefine marriage to allow lesbian, gay, transgender, queer, intersex and others to get 'married'. Well, that’s if 'Mardi Gras Malcolm' has his way. Family First is leading the charge to keep marriage the way that it is. We are very concerned about the Liberals ’ announcement the ‘ Yes ’ and ‘No’ campaigns will not get much funding, and the media bias and censorship preventing the ‘No’ camp getting its fair say. This is just one of the many reasons why I support free speech – so you and I can speak freely about our views on marriage without fear of retribution or prosecution.
