Protection From the Church

As discussions continue amongst politicians, Jo and Dan share their thoughts on Victoria's proposed bill to ban conversion and suppression practices in the state.

Many religious groups believe this bill will encroach on their freedom of religion and ability to practice their faith, and many are spreading this message on social media, but is that really the case? Is that really what the bill is about?

Dan and Jo discuss the impact of conversion therapy and practices on the LGBTQiA+ community and whether or not the church should be concerned for its own perceived persecution, or if it should support this bill.

Born and raised in the church, Jo never expected to find himself being pushed out by it. While Jo’s journey of self acceptance and a search for belonging has been challenging, it led him to find a loving God who was far greater than the sum of his painful experiences and hurt and a return to the church of his childhood. He hopes that all will be able to experience, as he has, a love that not only transforms them but also changes the way they see others.
