GAY TRUTH

The Australian Labor Party controlled by LGBT politicians considered a policy proposal to criminalize ex-gay conversion therapy. The party had originally had, in its draft platform, a policy that "opposes the practice of conversion and reparative therapies on diverse sexuality and genders and seeks to criminalize these practices". The policy was welcomed by LGBTI zealots but was a cause for concern for the Australian Christian Lobby, which said the policy would result in Christian parents having their children taken away if they seek counseling for them if their child says they are same-sex attracted. "To group religious beliefs, prayer or voluntary counseling in the same category as coercion, electric shock therapy, and bizarre boot camps is dishonest. It smuggles a chilling non-existant ideological agenda into the conversion therapy issue," Australian Christian Lobby managing director Martyn Iles said in a blog post .

LABOR, THE GREEN & LGBT ZEALOTS WANT TO DESTRY CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS AND THE CHURCH IS NEXT Senator Wong (lesbian), leader of the Opposition in the Senate, has introduced a Private Senator’s Bill aimed at removing the power of religious schools to discriminate against same-sex attracted students. Unfortunately, the amendments do much more than stop schools expelling students on the basis of their internal sexual orientation (a goal all sides of politics agree on.) They will have a serious impact on the ability of such schools, and other religious bodies, to operate in accordance with their religious beliefs. A more nuanced approach is needed. Background The background to these proposals can be found in previous blog posts  here ,  here  and  here . In short, the  Sex Discrimination Act  1984 (Cth), s 38(3) , currently allows faith-based “educational institutions” to provide education in accordance with their religious framework, by making it not unlawful for them to take  int

Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has been accused of intolerance and "brutal" language towards people opposed to same-sex marriage, in a confrontation with a rector outside a church service this morning. Mr Shorten was among politicians attending the service to mark the start of the parliamentary year. The Labor leader is a vocal advocate of same-sex marriage, but has raised concerns a plebiscite would be divisive and encourage the vilification of same-sex couples. Rector Ian Powell, from a Canberra Anglican church, took the opportunity to raise concerns about Labor's approach. "You described people who weren't in favour of changing the definition of marriage as 'haters who come out from under rock'. Can I ask you not to speak like that?" he said. Mr Shorten said he was not being quoted accurately and did not want to be hectored. "People of faith can be opposed to marriage equality, but some people who object to marriage equality do h

English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) ABC reports: ACT Deputy Chief Minister Andrew Barr is urging federal Labor's new leadership team to make same-sex marriage an election issue. Former prime minister Julia Gillard opposed marriage equality, but Kevin Rudd , his deputy Anthony Albanese , and Senate leader Penny Wong have spoken out in favour of change. Mr Barr supports of homosexual rights and claims it is an issue that resonates in the community. The question is there are many even in Parliament who disagree. Young people influenced by Will & Grace and other Hollywood show support homosexuality because they see the nice side of the propaganda. Rarely do they see the act, AIDS, the promiscuity, the immorality and short lived lust filled relationships. "It's a clear point of differentiation between Prime Minister Rudd and the Opposition," Barr said. "It represents an opportunity on an issue that certainly is
