Why does the FAIR WORK AUSTRALIA Act 2009 not prevent minority gender groups from being discriminated against. Being transgender I lost all entitlements and had my wages halved while the Ombudsman refuses to help. After sexual harassment and bullying, I attempted suicide and SAFEWORK SA won't act. Do I have to kill myself like others who get bullied e.g. Brodie Panlock? PAT
Thank you Anglicans For Equality :) With much love from those who have known exclusion from church and have rediscovered Jesus' love in an Anglican community <hug>
In south Australia Anglicans participated in pride-march last year, it was great to see people acting for a greater good than a lesser evil, Anglican congregations are fast becoming an exception to the rule... (Most church's I have heard of or seen in the past hide behind a cloud of ancient and contradictory moral values)
