News Flash – Protesters mark IDAHO

From SX Online Magazine Written by Patrick Carr  Wednesday, 21 May 2008:

Around 100 people marched down King Street in Newtown last Friday evening to protest homophobia and transphobia and mark the International Day of Action Against Homophobia (IDAHO).

Organised by Community Action Against Homophobia (CAAH), speakers included Rachel Evans for Socialist Alliance and Greens Senator Kerry Nettle.

The march started outside the Gloria Jeans café, which closed early, to draw attention to the organisation’s links to Mercy Ministries and the Hillsong Church. Protesters marched to the Martin Luther King ‘I have a dream’ indigenous rights mural.

    I loved Senator Kerry Nettle’s comment:
    “If Newtown can get rid of McDonald’s, Newtown can get rid of Gloria Jeans,” “It’s great to see this place shut; I’d love to see it removed completely.

    PS: don’t be confused by the new account, it’s still the same old Oz

    Yes there are some politicians around that are quietly and not so quietly supportive of the push to get rid of Capitalist evangelists
