freedom from discrimination
We need your help to ensure our laws protect everyone, equally.
For decades Australia has been making progress towards becoming a more fair, equal and inclusive society for all.
But LGBTIQ+ people still experience discrimination in religious schools, organisations and faith-based service providers for being who we are.
Despite bodies such as the UN specifically calling out religious exemptions in Australian laws - religious institutions still hold a license to discriminate against others.
Together, we’ve built a powerful movement united by a simple principle – that our laws must protect all of us, equally.
While we've seen incredible progress in the ACT, NT and TAS, we must keep calling for change until we're all equal under the law.
Will you sign this petition to help us shape laws that protect our community?
