For instance, the mentally disabled are frequently assaulted by police and security guards and driven out of hospitals when they desperately need urgent help. We have personally witnessed this brutality at out largest hospital.

Would police and security beat up other sick people screaming in pain??? No just the Mentally disabled. They are seen as a violent.

If the rednecks get into power at the next election our gender diverse community can expect no funding at all. To be confined to a deserted island or worse, put into the whips and stocks.

I can still remember their simplistic solutions for the Gay community. Bible-bashing punishments recommended in the media under Premier Joh and Russell Cooper.

Rip the condom vending machines from the walls in toilets and universities. Public whipping for gays. Crazed fundamentalists running rife throughout our education system. “If the labor Party gets into power, gay’s will come swarming over the boarder et”c.

In our opinion, too much public funding is going to populists agendas such as the Baby bonus, free everything for uninvited boat people, parental leave and private schools….Not to mention an obscene and poor value for a Papal Ambassador to that undemocratic Vatican.

We would expect that some of our pink dollars would be returned to our tax-paying gay community and not only to heterosexual families and their children.

Visit our Queensland Tourism office in Brisbane city and try to get information of up-coming Gay events. You will get the idea about discrimination.
