"World Congress of Families" coming to Sydney

I dunno why the fuck a city like Sydney, which has the highest number of gays per capita (second only to San Francisco) in the world, would end up hosting a world conference for an organisation calling itself the "World Congress for Families". Or to clarify, some fundie Christian people out to wage war with us gays who are, apparently, taking over their world.

Here's their website:

The World Congress of Families, founded in 1997 by Dr Allan Carlson of the Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society in Rockford, Illinois, USA, has become the premier event in the world to support the natural family. Since 1997 the WCF has been successfully held in Prague (1997), Geneva (1999), Mexico City (2004), Warsaw (2007), Amsterdam (2009) and Madrid (2012).

The World Congress of Families is a time of intense teaching, learning, networking and exchange as those who seek to strengthen and promote the natural family tackle some of the most complex issues affecting family life today. more

Which is all pretty much code for declaring war on gays in Australia. But never fear, gay NSW MP Alan Greenwich is coming to the rescue of us degenerates (well according to those Christians anyway). Particularly as they're promoting that ghastly "reparative therapy" thing that really fucks up the head of people who do it, sometimes to the point of suicide.

Sydney MP Alex Greenwich is wary of the WCF and has called upon the NSW Government to condemn the ‘dangerous’ organisation for promoting reparative therapy and suggesting sexual orientation can be changed through medical and psychological treatment. 

Greenwich says that it is important that the NSW Parliament sends a clear message on the dangers of reparative therapy, and has called upon the house to note that the Australian Psychological Society considers such treatment as harmful, and that the WCF is misrepresenting the views of a clear majority of Christians. 

“It is important that the Parliament knows the Christian community loves and accepts the LGBTI community despite the way the World Congress of Families seeks to misrepresent them,” Greenwich said. 

This has put him on a war footing with WCF. For its part, the organisation’s Managing Director Lawrence Jacobs, writing from Rockford Illinois was “astonished” by Greenwich’s actions, claiming that “Stalin and other dictators would be proud” of the MP’s request to have “the Ministry of Tourism” monitor the congress “for heretical thoughts and, if any are found, sanctions be applied under the state's 'anti-discrimination’ law.” 

Jacobs added that “Pro-family advocates have often expressed concern that these anti-discrimination measures and 'same-sex' marriage would be used to stifle dissent and religious freedom. MP Greenwich's creepy demands seem to confirm those fears." more

Um, well this cartoon comes to mind after reading that bullshit at the end:
