Dear Members of Westboro Baptist Church,
I read with interest today your intention to use the tragic deaths of five young Amish girls to let the world know that God hates homosexual people.
If your protest had been about gun control or support for […]

I’ve started to receive a number of emails reporting that Steve Irwin became a Christian in the last few weeks of his life.

The rainbow flag is a symbol of gay pride. I have one on my office window.
Not because I am gay, but because I think young people that struggle with issues of sexuality get a pretty rough time. They can be isolated from their family, their school and their workplace and end up feeling very alone […]

Four prominent Liberal MPs are behind the proposal, seen by the Prime Minister and to be discussed in a meeting of Coalition MPs on Tuesday.

Two articles today that astound and sadden me. Both have to do with sex education…
The first talks about how the Australian Council for Islamic Education in Schools has adopted a ‘just say no’ policy when it comes to sex education. But not only that, they have banned teachers from discussing things like homosexuality and safe-sex, […]
