Being gay is not a choice or a health crisis

Being gay is not a choice or a health crisis

But the right wing media is out of hand 

 The daily telegraph is well known for its very right wing biased "journalism" and its horrible treatment of the LGBT community. It has repeatedly allowed publication of attacks on marriage equality and even safe schools, which is an anti bullying program designed to help prevent youth suicide.  
 As you can see from the main picture the title says fat chance of being healthy with the sub heading young Australians only have themselves to blame. 
 The Daily Telegraph would have its readers believe that psychological distress and being same sex attracted is a choice.

 ITS NOT!

And that being same sex attracted is a health crisis.

ITS NOT!

The health crisis is homophobia! Homophobia that might be lessened by programs such as the safe school program and granting same sex attracted couples the right to marry. And at least doing a basic level of fact checking on articles before they are published.

16.8%

 Whats also interesting is that homophobes usually try to lower the percentage of LGBT people, ), believing that somehow lessens the right to equality), but this "info-graphic" has the rate of same sex attracted rate at 16.8% among high school students, which is slightly higher then the average conservative estimate. So next time you are assaulted with some fake low statistic you can refer the bigot to this crappy article, as i am sure they will respect the Daily Telegraph.

 You can bet Turnbull will continue to not do a thing despite his assurance that homophobia would not be tolerated in Australia. I also feel really disappointed in Turnbull's support of homophobia in Australia, some even from within his own party. While he isn't as bad as Hanson straight washing the Orlando tragedy for political gain, it appears that his promises to fight homophobia in Australia was just hollow grandstanding, which is really sad and disrespectful. I would love for him to prove me wrong good first steps would be to make marriage equality a reality and make safe schools mandatory Australia wide.

Please join many decent Australians in lodging a complaint. 

News: Satanists curse Trump...really?

You can listen to an YouTube version of this post here.

Satanists curse Trump!

 Is a headline you may have seen recently. I implore you to remember where you saw headlines like this because they are fake news. i should point out that i am using the term fake news correctly here, that is to say that the news story is demonstrably incorrect and misleading. I am not using the trumpian definition of fake news which seems to be anything that is not pro-trump propaganda.

 I am referring to the spiritual of the world who are working good magic against the evil of the Trump administration. So what makes these news story's fake exactly? Firstly the claim that the movement aims to in any way curse Trump is simply untrue. The ritual was a binding ritual, which specifically designed to merely prevent Trump from doing harm. 
 I will point out here that anyone trying to counter this ritual is admitting that they want Trump to do harm, and are actively trying to aid Trump in causing harm. 

 A lot of the news story's refer to satanists and Satan worshipers participating in these rituals. Now while Satan worshipers are certainly not disallowed from participating, i find it difficult to imagine that these Satanist Christians would want to. Surely Satanists would be supporting the evils of the Trump administration not opposing them? And if Satanists are trying to prevent harm and other Christian sects are trying to stop the Satanists from preventing harm....then i think those other Christians need to have a good hard look at their own moral code.

 The ritual is to be performed on every every waning crescent moon which is not technically monthly. The spell will continue to be performed until he is removed from office which doesn't necessarily demand impeachment.
 Lets get it straight the ritual is not a curse, it is not evil! How could preventing someone from doing harm be an evil act? Its not even dangerous, if your really concerned about your spiritual safety or any "karmic" repercussions, you could add something like "harming none, and for the greater good of all" just before you say "so mote it be".  
 You could also just remove the lines "Heavenly hosts. Demons of the infernal realms" if those lines concern you. 
 Also if you follow any gods you would definitely add "In the name and by the power of (your deity's names)", after you list the elemental spirits. 
 In this way the divine will add their own power to your ritual and they will also filter your intent through their moral code. That seems to be the whole idea of this ritual its amorphous enough to be altered without losing intent. I do understand that this may be foreign for a lot of people who are not proficient in spiritual matters, but performing this ritual might enlighten many to the fact that there are other paths. 
 The  #MagicResistance / #BindTrump movement has a Facebook page and the actual ritual can be found here. Remember too that any spiritual advisers who are feeding you a fake narrative about this movement should be of concern, they may actually have little knowledge and couldn't be bothered to educate themselves or are possibly being actively deceitful.

 As an aside i had a lot of trouble just getting the headlines for this post. A lot of Christian websites never stop loading, they play advertisements constantly and they slowed my Internet to a halt if i opened more then one at a time. Some of them even played music?!?
 Don't forget to act in the mundane world to help those being oppressed by Trump and his supporters.
 I would also encourage any "sceptics" to actually study the science before making any uneducated or false claims.

 I implore those with magical knowledge who feel they have legitimate concerns or criticisms to produce their own version of this ritual. Below you can see the ritual modified in a way that should alleviate those concerned with accidentally doing any harm. I also tried to "tidy" the wording up a little and added specific references to divinity. Changes should be in bold. I provide this just as an example of such alterations and encourage you to check out the full ritual,. In fact only the spoken part of the ritual is shown below so you will need to reference the original.

RITUAL TO BIND TRUMP

(v. 2.2 with PRUDE edits)

(Light white candle)

"Hear me, oh spirits
Of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air
O (name deities)

And blessed spirits of our ancestors
Protect and aid me as i do this good work"

(Light inscribed orange candle stub)

"I call upon you good spirits, Elemental, Ancestor and Divine
To bind
Donald J. Trump
So that his malignant works may fail utterly
That he may do no harm
To any human soul
Nor any Animal, or any Environment

Bind him so that he shall not break our polity
Usurp our liberty
Or fill our minds with hate, confusion, fear, or despair
And bind, too,
All those who enable his wickedness
And those whose mouths speak his poisonous lies

I beseech thee, spirits, bind all of them
As with chains of iron
Bind their malicious tongues
Strike down their towers of vanity"

(Invert Tower tarot card)

"I beseech thee in my name
(Say your full name)

And In the name of (name deities) 

In the name of all living things
Of all the spirits of place
In the name of Justice, Liberty, Love, Equality And Peace

Bind them in chains
Bind their tongues
Bind their works
Bind their wickedness"

(Light the small photo of Trump from the flame of the orange candle stub and hold carefully above the ashtray)

(Speak the following loudly and with increasing passion as the photo burns to ashes) 

"Harming none, and for the greater good of all
By (name deities) divine hand
Donald J. Trump and those who abet him are bound  from doing any harm!

So it shall be!"

(Blow out orange candle, visualising Trump blowing apart into dust or ash*)

(Pinch or snuff out the white candle, ending the ritual)

News; RSVP, Fake News and Preventing Suicide.

> Hate Group receives free funny online RSVPs

 A church in Melbourne invited the homophobic Lyle Shelton of the Australian "Christian" Lobby (ACL) to spread hate speech at a weekend event. They allowed people to RSVP over the internet, As a peaceful form of protest Pauline Pantsdown suggested that reasonable people could RSVP to the event using silly names and comments and hilarity ensued.
 Some of the issues Lyle Shelton was going to blunder on about seemed to included the ACL's advocacy for forcing the elderly, sick and dying to suffer, the ACL's opposition to the Australian constitution and equal rights, in addition to the ACL's advocacy for the bullying of school children.
 The bigoted Lyle Shelton is quoted as claiming that the RSVP's were;
 “the most degrading and obscene material I have been exposed to ".
 This coming from the man who has himself disgustingly tried to create false parallels between equal rights and Nazism. That is never OK by the way. Also from the man who denounces a school program, that aims to prevent bullying and youth suicides.
 Is he not aware that the ACL has claimed that smoking is healthier than being homosexual! And that the ACL tried to blame homosexuals for homophobia, homophobia that the ACL promotes?!?
 If we are to believe Lyle Shelton, and we assume he was excluding the ACL's filthy behavior from his consideration. I would suggest he need only to look at other bigots and homophobes in Australia to see far more degrading and obscene material. 
 But i am inclined to believe he is simply trying to "play the victim" as a professional homophobe i cant imagine he wouldn't keep up to date with what other homophobes and hate groups are doing and saying. In any event we can now doubly confirm that the ACL and Lyle Shelton are against freedom of speech.
 It gets weirder as this (to use the right wing vernacular) precious triggered snowflake has hired three body guards to protect him, if only every homosexual could do the same, if only every bullied LGBT kid in schools had even one bodyguard to protect them.  

 Maybe its time the ACL was officially declared a hate group and outlawed? Its at the very least time we stopped giving people like Lyle Shelton a voice on topics they clearly know nothing about. Not only has he shown repeatedly that he knows nothing about LGBT people but now he is claiming to know nothing about the homophobia that is his bread and butter, how are the other radical right wing bigots going to respect him if he doesn't give them credit for their hate speech, shame, Lyle shame.
 The Australian did a hit piece on Pauline Pantsdown which is so biased its actually funny. 

 

> A simple way to reduce youth suicide

 If you or someone you know is dealing with self harm please seek help. In Australia a shocking average of 2,687 death by suicide occur each year, that's a little over 8 deaths per day! Its horrifying that these numbers are doubled in relation to indigenous Australians. Males are around three times more likely to die by suicide then females. LGBT youth are 6 times more likely to attempt suicide. Transgender youth are almost 18 times more likely to attempt suicide. A horrifying 8% of LGBT youth (14-21) have attempted suicide. These numbers increase when considering those who thought about suicide but did not act upon those thoughts.  
  These statistics which are freely available show how important and necessary the Safe Schools anti-bullying program is. And how important it is that hate groups that incite discrimination should be stopped. 
 But there is good news an important American study titled; Difference-in-Differences Analysis of the Association Between State Same-Sex Marriage Policies and Adolescent Suicide Attempts has shown that marriage equality (LGBTI people having he same marriage rights as heterosexual people) can actually reduce the rates of youth suicide by a staggering 7%! This alone should encourage Malcolm Trumble to keep his promise and ensure LGBT Australians have their constitutional rights enforced and are permitted to marry like other Australians. He keeps getting these amazing opportunity to show some backbone and stand up to the homophobic, radical right, but he keeps letting them slip through his fingers. I hope this time he is true to his word and ensures Australia does have no tolerance for homophobia!

 Again if you or someone you know is experiencing any difficulties there is no shame in seeking out help, the statistics show you are not alone. There are professionals who will have resources that will help you cope with whatever life chucks at your face. They may have solutions you haven't thought of for helping you out of a difficult situation. Do not let the homophobes win, make them pay by living your life with love and happiness, don't worry if your not quite there yet, get the help you need and "just fake it til you make it". They will hate seeing that another LGBT youth has survived despite their best efforts. That you survive and go on to live your life means they have failed and that in and of itself is something for you to be proud of.
