Look what I got in my inbox this morning: The Australian Christian Lobby agitating to get its supporter base to support efforts to loosen the laws on gay conversion practices - properly called Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Change efforts. (1/4)

Sometimes I do interviews on Christian Nationalism. This one is for the Religious Trauma Collective's event taking place on the 19-21st June. If you're a therapist, you should definitely consider going. Religious Trauma is an important and underserved aspect of mental health

The Australian Christian Lobby just released this VERY helpful graphic on how well Political parties align with their values.
I say helpful because now all we need to do is find the LEAST 'in alignment' group. Vote Green, Labor or your local indi if you're not a jerk

This is from Christian Patriarchy; where women cease to be their own entities and morph into an extension of the man. If a man is a pastor, his wife is too. Yet she has little if any influence. Just proximity and access to info.

It’s my 40th birthday party.
Ok no. It’s the school trivia night but I brought cake and I’m a white woman so I’m good at appropriating things.
And lying about my age. Huzzah

🧵Anyone remember Martyn Iles? Ex Australian Christian Lobby guy with a LOT of thoughts on the classic things? RUMOUR has it he was a little too evangelical about the whole thing & was replaced with someone who would return to the cloak-&-dagger ways of lobbying. Rumour! Well.👇

So Family First / Vile Lyle Shelton posted this this week. As a party, they are ridiculous and unelectable. HOWEVER, this right here is their goal alongside dominionists and Christian Nationalists in Australia. A theocracy where Christian nuclear families are the goal.

I'd say not. I've never met her. But my very educated guess is based on the fact I grew up in this movement. I'm only a handful of years out.
But check this screenshot, then let me interpret the Christianese for you.
