A 12-year-old boy in the UK has started puberty-blocking treatment in an effort to “transition” to a female, making him one of the youngest in the country to do so. Terri Lammin told The Telegraph her son, Ash, insisted he was a girl from the moment he could speak. “When she [Ash] was three she said to me, ‘I’m a boy because you gave me a boy’s name – it’s your fault,” Ms Lammin said. “I remember feeling horrible because she blamed me. I’d never come across it before and I just went along with it. I just thought, ‘if…
Mark Latham says, Australians were lied to during the same-sex marriage debate: this is ‘chilling for all religious preachers and freedoms’
One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham has said Australians were lied to during the same-sex marriage debate after voters were repeatedly assured the legalisation of gay ‘marriage’Â would not result in a loss of freedoms. Mr Latham made the comments in a post on Facebook today, following news that the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board had accepted a complaint from an LGBTQ activist accusing Israel Folau of “homosexuality vilification”. Campaigner Garry Burns took issue with the former rugby star’s “controversial” April Instagram post which warned hell awaits sinners who refuse to turn to Jesus for forgiveness, including homosexuals. Mr Latham described the NSW…

Facebook censors call accurate MLK paraphrase ‘partly false’
I have a collection of inspiring quotes gleaned from the interwebs which I share to promote the philosophy of the Church And State Summit, an annual conference which equips Christians to be better informed and involved in important public issues. Today I shared one by a public figure who stands tall in the history of ordained Christian ministers who were not content to sit on the sidelines of history and let appalling social standards perpetuate injustice and oppression. Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr has many inspiring sermons which resonate with the purpose of the Church And State Summit, like…

School children forced to share gender-neutral toilets: ‘it’s about inclusivity’
A new $80-million vertical high school in Queensland is the first school in the state to be designed specifically without boys’ and girls’ separate toilets. When Fortitude Valley State Secondary College opens in 2020, young students will only have access to 50 lockable ‘floor to ceiling’ gender-neutral toilet cubicles with shared basin areas. The only exception will be two male and female toilets in changeroom facilities which won’t open until later in 2020. Queensland Teachers’ Union president Kevin Bates said the new design was about “inclusion and accessibility,” arguing that gender-neutral toilets aren’t that “unusual” because “every toilet in our…
Peter FitzSimons condemns Christians at Christmas
There’s only one Person the pirate from Neutral Bay despises more than the Queen of the Commonwealth, and that’s the King of the Universe who was born in a manger. Anyone daring to respectfully repeat His Words will be the target of Pirate Pete’s unbridled condemnation and vilification. Margaret Court and Israel Folau have been the criminals he’s persecuted relentlessly with his right to hate speech. Their crimes? They had the audacity to suggest God’s design for marriage was exclusive and that rebellion against God is likely to result in His judgement. “Is it not a tad presumptuous as to…
