Children are never too young to learn about rainbow sex

By Lyle Shelton - posted Monday, 9 May 2016


In Queensland the Palaszczuk Government has refused a Right to Information request from ACL to release the secret list of schools running the Safe Schools program.

Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham's insistence that Safe Schools be transparent for parents is being ignored, making him look weak in the face of rainbow activists.

Never mind that research shows that up to 80 per cent of girls and 90 per cent of boys struggling with gender identity issues will be entirely comfortable with their biological gender by the time they get through puberty.

Never mind that 10 years after a sex change operation, a person is 20 times more likely to commit suicide than the non-transgendered population.

Never mind that hospitals like John Hopkins in the United States now no longer perform gender reassignment surgery because it was found not to be helpful.

None of this information features in the resources.

Bigot, homophobe and hater are the bullying words deployed against anyone asking questions. They protect these programs making politicians and the community too scared to challenge them.

Queensland-style secrecy is the other enabler.

Any government program that relies on slurs and secrecy for its currency, should sound warning bells and pique journalists' curiosity.

Now a coalition of rainbow groups is calling on Australia's corporate sector to sign a letter of endorsement of Safe Schools.

The leader of one of these groups, Rodney Chiang-Cruise, took to social media after Mr Turnbull ordered the review of Safe Schools to label the Prime Minister a "C…t".

Apart from aligning their brands with dubious company, does corporate Australia really want to declare war on the biological gender of Australia's children?

Rainbow politics is taking captains of industry and politicians down a very strange path.

Most Australians would prefer to let boys be boys and girls be girls and get on with arguing about the economy.
