Is Scientology Still Homophobic

Submitted by 2060 on Mon, 16/12/2013 - 12:30am

Does the Australian branch of Scientology support L. Ron Hubbards anti gay policy?

Are LGBTI people welcome to join the church in Australia?

In recent years sections of the church of Scientology have tried to soften the churches anti gay stance.

But insiders and some former church members say the policy is still alive and well, although the church tries to avoid any public discussion of the matter.

While some local church branches have tried to appear gay friendly the gay hate policy persists.

But what about Australia?

Major uranium leak endangers Kakadu - but played down

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 09/12/2013 - 7:11am

Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - A million litres of radioactive slurry has contaminated Kakadu National Park from a burst tank at Ranger uranium mine. It is a significant toxic accident but it has surprisingly generated relatively minimal news coverage. It took the local Traditional Owners to break the news to Australia.
