The event in Orange was fully funded by the New South Wales government and was designed to target “youth”.

The Orange Rainbow “Festival”, supported by the Orange City Council and held last month, was attended by minors, some evidently without parental consent, exposing them to grooming by the LGBT movement.

As reported by the Orange City Council before the event:

A rainbow walk, festival, and street disco will headline festivities for the first Orange Rainbow Festival, which will be held from March 22 to 24 to celebrate and support the city’s LBGTQIA+ young people.

The free event is hosted by the Orange Youth Action Council’s Sincerely Queer group, supported by Orange City Council, and is fully funded by the NSW Government’s and ‘Our Region Our Voice’ Regional Youth Investment Program (RYIP).

Orange Palm Sunday Event Better Attended

The day following the festival was Palm Sunday, which saw Christians gathered at the same place to celebrate. They gave out free sausage sandwiches and held free activities — a tradition begun by Fusion over thirty years ago. The Palm Sunday event was attended by about 2,000 people, at least five times as many as attended the Rainbow “Festival”.

The man shown below holding up a sign about the need to repent engaged with some of the young people at the festival. Standing nearby was the former mayor supporting his efforts in freedom of speech. He was disgusted with the waste of $125,000 spent on the event.

Gideon’s also began giving out Christian literature but were told to leave.

I was told to delete images of the local boarding school students or face being arrested. I was taking pictures for a well known professor of paediatrics for a research paper on gender confusion. He offered $150 to begin a crowdfunding campaign for me. My wife offered $10!

In the background is a tent displaying sex toys, contrary to 578E of the NSW Criminal Code. No action by police occurred.
The police have been indoctrinated in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), along with many other NSW departments, so that came as no surprise. The NSW Police Commissioner has been sent a letter asking questions about this. We await his response with bated breath!

Kris Dhillon from the Orange Christian Alliance has played a major role informing Orange citizens of the dangers of recruiting and indoctrinating children.

The NSW Conversion Ban Bill

It is interesting that our local state member of parliament was inundated with emails opposing this “festival”, as well as the conversion ban Bill, which was unfortunately lost by one vote in the NSW Legislative Council. If a continued presence of a Christian party was present, this legislation may not have occurred.

Sadly, Uniting Church Clergy supported the conversion ban Bill. Here is a quote from Hansard:

In an open letter to the Premier, 37 clergy — including from Parramatta, Parramatta‑Nepean and Wentworthville — wrote:

As Christian ministers, we support this legislation. The Scripture speaks of all living creatures being given life by God’s spirit…

Our identity is shaped by God in that process of giving life, of bringing to birth the identity of a new human being. Furthermore, all creatures are sentient beings — we have a soul, a state of being, a life that is fully formed and given by God.

All human beings are created with the spirit of God within us…

All human beings exist within this understanding.

Our human identity is grounded in the creative work of God’s spirit.

Who we are is how God has made us to be — each human being is made in God’s image.

There are no exceptions to this in biblical understanding…

“Conversion therapy” provides a direct challenge to such acceptance.

It seeks to intervene and “change” the way that an individual identifies.

Because we believe that who we are is a gift from God, we therefore believe that we are called to accept the identity of each individual, as they perceive and understand themselves.

As Kris Dhillon from the Orange Christian Alliance has said:

Really? What does our Lord have to say about this notion of accepting various sexual practices?

“These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a {sick} bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.” Revelation 2:18-23

There are those who openly and proudly tolerate, support and even celebrate the Jezebel sexual immorality and rebelliousness against God. It is clear who they are, but what about the rest? No member has been expelled and no one has left the Association despite these candid demonstrations of apostasy, so are we to assume that each and every member is tolerant of that which our Lord rebukes the church at Thyatira for?

We know this is not the case, but there is the “guilt by association” aspect that cannot be dismissed. It is necessary to not only be without fault, but to be seen to be so. Evidently, evil does not stop itself and though we are given weapons with divine powers to demolish strongholds it seems we would rather not offend anyone. Nevertheless, the people of God watch and wait and hope.

By choosing to remain silent about the abominations in and outside the church, the church is not only seen as weak and irrelevant, it is bringing upon itself the pending imposition of being forced to remain silent.

No surprises again if NSW Uniting Church clergy support the Greenwich “Equity” Bill in August, which will have dire consequences for Christian schools and organisations.
