So, what if an LGBTQI student applies for admission to a religious school which wants to exclude such applications, and that student also happens to be aboriginal? What then?

One of the things I cannot understand about this type of bigotry is how simple it is to illustrate how inappropriate it is by simply replacing one term with another…

Change “LGBTQI+” (or “gay” or “transgender”, etc, etc) to “black”…

So the title of this article would become “Australian Church Calls For Ban On Black Student Leaders”

Now THAT would cause a real uproar!

No sooner does one foul turkey (Nile), finally bugger off hopefully into relative anonymity.? And another called Latham lining up with their next Cowardly Punch . We have yet such another to contend with! Looking far too pleased with itself.

I am not surprised the Presbyterian Church has said this. Since 1977 when over 2/3 of Presbyterians joined the Uniting Church, those who refused to unite turned the Presbyterian Church into an ultra- conservative group to rival Sydney Anglicans. Rev. Peter Barnes was the minister at Nambucca Heads where they started a Christian School. He garner publicity by asserting the school’s right to use corporal punishment as appropriate discipline. The Church has always run high quality schools but they are slowly “converting” them into fundamentalist institutions. This church is still opposed to having women as Ministers.
I am so glad I left this Church to join a church that lives in the 21st century.
