USyd’s Queer Action Collective gathered for a speak-out today, to stand against a motion introduced to Senate by One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts that seeks to ban the use of gender-neutral language at a federal level. The motion was passed last week.
Queer Officer Oscar Chaffey denounced the motion as “transphobic” and “bioessentialist nonsense”, saying that gender-neutral language, including the use of singular ‘they’ pronouns, has existed in the English language for centuries.
Activists take to Taylor Square against Latham and Porter’s discriminatory bills
Protestors take the Sydney streets against the Parental Freedoms and Religious Discrimination bills.
April 17, 2021
This afternoon, around 350 protestors marched from Taylor Square to Martin Place, demanding the withdrawal of bills that enable discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people within certain social settings like schools and workplaces.
The ‘Kill-the-Bill’ demonstration, organised by Community Action for Rainbow Rights, was chaired by activists April Holcombe and Patrick White.
The protest was directed against One Nation member Mark Latham’s ‘Parental Freedoms Bill,’ which proposes a ban on schools accommodating gender diverse students, as well as Christian Porter’s ‘Religious Discrimination Bill,’ which would permit LGBTQIA+ discrimination on the grounds of religious beliefs in certain areas of public life.
