The Pride thread 🌈

This is true. I am just saying it was always going to cause a stir in that area. And they'd have to of been silly to think something wild wasn't going to happen.

Which is why Latham did it. Can't you see this ?

Christian Lives Matter doxxes LGBTQIA+ protesters as the group seeks to shift blame for violence

Mark Latham claimed after the event that the attack was 'set up' by the Community Action for Rainbow Rights protesters.

On Tuesday night, a small group of Community Action for Rainbow Rights (CARR) protesters were attacked near a community meeting featuring One Nation MP Mark Latham at St Michael’s Church Hall in Belfield.

Footage shows a group of men running at protesters and NSW Police. Three men associated with the group were arrested for their involvement in the event on charges including assault.

The event was promoted by Christian Lives Matter’s Charlie Bakhos from his Facebook and Instagram accounts. The protest was promoted by CARR on social media too, and the group’s Facebook post was shared in a private WhatsApp group run by Christian Lives Matter organisers. One man who has been charged with assault, Christian Sukkar, urged people to “drag protesters by their hair” in a video shared before the event.

Yesterday, the Christian Lives Matter’s Facebook and Instagram accounts posted the names, photographs and social media handles of two people believed to have been CARR protesters, asking its 40,000 followers for “more information” and to “keep an eye out for them”.

“These evil people need to be held responsible for their actions!!” the account posted.

One CARR protester, who asked not to be named due to concerns for their safety, said they were “frightened” by the account’s attention.

“They’re targeting individuals. [The Christian Lives Matter group] says they had nothing to do with the violence, but they’re also blaming us for instigating it. The implication is that these people deserved it,” they told Crikey.

They shared threatening messages with Crikey that they had received since the Christian Lives Matter account posted about them.

“If i find you or see you my friend goodluck [sic],” one said. “Just watch your back.”

“Hope to see you Sunday,” another one read.

In the aftermath of the community event, both Christian Lives Matter and Latham have sought to blame the CARR protesters for the violence.

While condemning the violence during and after the event, Latham also claimed that “transgender radical left-wing protesters” had “block[ed] public roads and access to a church”.

A CARR protest spokesperson denied that they had blocked access, pointing out that they had not even made it to the church prior to being attacked.

A NSW Police spokesperson said that protesters were intercepted and that “people came out of the event/church and confronted them”.

Latham also said that the protesters had “set up” the violence, tweeting on Wednesday: “The Alphabet protesters had their own cameraman present in Belfield last night who is now shopping footage around media for free. A working journo would be charging for it, of course.”

An independent livestreamer, Chriscoveries, had been broadcasting the event when he was assaulted by Christian Lives Matter members.

Bakhos, through the Christian Lives Matter accounts, has accused CARR of “inciting hatred and stirring trouble” with their protests.

He posted pictures of CARR’s torn signs (“CATHOLIC PRIESTS GROOMERS”, “CORRUPT CATHOLIC POLITICIANS”, “FACT OVER FICTION”) taken at a counter-protest to a Christian Lives Matter protest last Sunday in Hyde Park.

“They held these signs in what the media called peaceful signs mmmm makes you think,” he said.

Christian Lives Matter protesters were pictured with banners reading “LGBTQ = PEDOPHILIA” and “HANDS OFF OUR CHILDREN” at the Sunday protest. It’s one of the increasing number of anti-LGBTQIA+ activities promoted by the group.

Another event, a prayer march through Newtown during Sydney WorldPride, was promoted by the Christian Lives Matter accounts as a “peaceful protest”. Crikey reported a claim that one protester assaulted a man. NSW Police said that it will continue to investigate.

It does sound like these CARR protesters were trying to incite hatred of Christians. Very troubling.

The lgb were planning on protesting outside the church in Larger numbers and put it all over social media. Only 15 decided to rock up. But I’m not sure CLM was responsible for any of the prayers thru nextown. There’s other groups out there

Don't people have jobs to go to? I just walked in the door. Been up since 5.30. Who has time for mid week protests.

I hope you produce another fine meal tonight for yourself.
You deserve it!!

I dropped into mums to pick up parts for Saturdays job( In the shed I used to live) and she made me a meal to take home with me.

 

[hindy111]

Which is why Latham did it. Can't you see this ?

If you showed me a photo of him I wouldn't be able to pick him out tbh.I don't follow politics.
I think small steps in anything when it comes to change is smart. Take to many big ones and other may feel threatened. I think my views are getting misunderstood.

Did you have to wait around for her to cook it or was it ready to go when you got there?

 

[hindy111]

Ready to go.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**k yeah. Don't let her waste your time. Did the cabbie leave the engine running?

 

[T-Boon]

I dont know anything about the right and wrong of this (I bet they are all f**k wits) but I am still laughing about the "Christian Lives Matter" thing, Haha. How juvenile.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sounds like you think their lives don't matter. This is exactly why the group exists. They are raising awareness.

It was a good feed.

 

[Homo man69]

I'm old skool gay and genuine hate definitely existed back in the day eg being thrown off cliffs, "f@g"bashings etc
Its changed through education, protests but gone way to far. You'll be labeled a neo nazi,Trump supporter for just being conservative.
I don't recall witnessing any proper homophobia in the last 15 years. People go looking for it and after not finding it, they point the finger at conservative people minding there own business.
This Latham protest wasn't necessary and unfortunately caused a reaction they desired.

For some reason I hate you.
I think you are a phony. Not a real Eels fan.

It is definitely a sarcastic mockery of "black lives matter".
That BLM movement was based on the wrong thing - flip out over some criminal that got himself killed by a dumb cop and at the wrong time, with all the other stupid woke stuff - but I think its core is good. Blacks are massively under privileged in society. Christians aren't underprivileged but they are persecuted and ridiculed now.

[Poupou Escobar]

Christians aren't underprivileged

Some of them are.

Almost as cringey as Community Action for Rainbow Rights ....
