@MikeCarlton01 SURPRISE, the Australian attacking Women.

Accomplished, talented, multicultural Australian women!

Say it is not so?

DISGUSTING

[Uniting Network Australia @UnitingNetwork]

The following link is to the Uniting Network's submission to the Queensland Government's inquiry into the use of puberty blockers and hormones for transgender youth.

The govt's decision to suspend gender affirming care for transgender youth is dangerous.

Australia’s banning under-16s from Insta, TikTok and YouTube.

Should we ban Baby Boomers from Fox News and News Corp?👇🏽

🚨BREAKING!!

The BBC compiles evidence that Israel has been shooting children in the head & chest (signs of targeted sniping & killing)

Over 60% of murdered children revealed this pattern of injury.

Israels trial at the Hague will be a keystone event in the history of humanity

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

Nice to see @ABCnews get coached by @FranceskAlbs on the OBLIGATION on Australia to act to prevent suspected genocide, by Israel in Gaza.

And she challenges why @ABCnews always defers to Israel’s opinion, despite the weight of international law.

[Gay Star News @gaystarnews]

Dutch Trans darts star Noa-Lynn Van Leuven has posted a statement on Instagram in response to a new rule imposed by the World Darts Federation, which restricts women’s competitions to those born female.

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Look, @SenatorWong, for God’s sake DO SOMETHING. The platitudes and prevarications over the Israeli genocide in Gaza are pathetic, offensive. We’re over all the handwringing and diplomatic tippy-toeing. Expel the Israeli ambassador and recognise the Palestinian state. Forthwith.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

Australia was invited to this Hague group meeting of 30 nations seeking to end the genocide in Gaza, but has chosen not to attend. The Foreign Minister Penny Wong needs to explain to the Australian public why Australia rejected the invitation.

“If Mr Dutton is sincere about his commitment to reducing mental health risk among young Australians, he would want Headspace to show more pride flags, not hide them.”

Fearless Bishop, praying for righteousness in front of those who will do the opposite of Jesus whilst claiming to follow them.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

[Senator Lidia Thorpe @SenatorThorpe]

In a big week of Labor backdowns, Albanese has broken his promise to protect LBGTQIA+ students & teachers from discrimination.

Again he has said he won't pursue this promise without bipartisan support.

Just like he's done with the Makarrata Commission🧵

@MarkDreyfusKCMP @UnitingChurchAu @RichardMarlesMP the ADF (Military), and the 1st Rudd Labor Federal Govt introduced equal entitlements for ADF retirement and superannuation for LGBTI domestic partners.

In WA, the Bacon Labor WA Govt legislated to stop any discrimination against LGBTI people in adoption,

[Uniting Network Australia @UnitingNetwork]

The LGBTIQA+ community, particularly the school kids and teachers, are left in a shocking place because the governments seem to be afraid to stand up to the conservative faith groups.

As a faith group, we recall that Labour has primarily led the way so many times…. 1/n

[Uniting Network Australia @UnitingNetwork]

@MarkDreyfusKCMP @UnitingChurchAu in 2011 the Federal Labor Gillard Govt, introduced the ‘X’ in addition to M & F on Australian passports, an critical step for transgender, non-binardy and intersex people.

In 1992, the Federal Keating Labor Govt removed the ban on LGBTI people in…

Like many, Uniting Network is disturbed the Aust’n Govt, from a party supposedly fights for the oppressed & downtrodden, is just like the Morrison Liberal Government, leaving the LGBTIQA+ community with more uncertainty.

When one of our same-sex families' youngest started kindergarten, the teacher and senior educators could not manage one girl harassing him, wanting to know "who was his real mum?" At the end of the year, they had to move him to another school.

[Uniting Network Australia @UnitingNetwork]

@UnitingNetwork is disappointed & concerned about introducing radical anti-LGBTIQA+ book banning at the libraries of @CumberlandSyd Council.

This is discriminatory and increases the risk of violence against LGBTIQA+ people in the council area.

These books provide education for our kids on the reality of their community and in no way "open up our children to any form of sexualisation".

This is old-fashioned homophobia.
