Dwivedi: Now come to my written notes. There were three cases Mr Vishwanathan cited. These cases were on administrative orders, they have nothing to legislative matters of reading down etc.

Our statement on the inclusion on the @globalextremism report: (1/18)
Of course, @globalextremism has misrepresented us, and probably intentionally. LGB Alliance Australia, and every other LGB Alliance group around the world, formed to represent the interests of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. That’s all. (2/18)
That’s not hateful, or extreme, and it’s certainly not “far right”. It isn’t hate speech to want to have a conversation about sex-based rights. (3/18)

My daughter asked a question re: #DontSayGay—reminding me of “All About Me” projects in kindergarten, when kids share about their families—asking if kids of #samesex parents would now have to not share, or feel compelled to lie, to not accidentally get teachers in trouble. 1/
“The bill’s sponsors have emphatically stated that the bill would not prohibit students from talking about their #LGBTQ families or bar classroom discussions about #LGBTQ history, including events like the 2016 deadly attack on the Pulse nightclub” nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1… 2/

Sex should be experienced as a vital, dynamic aspect of human interplay, rather than just a physical act or episode in our own lives
#sex #gay #Lgbtq #men2men #girl2girl #pleasure #desire #samesex
The school of thought to be encouraged in this process should involve acknowledging, accepting and displaying confident masculine and feminine characteristics, without either provoking or submitting to erotic temptation. #sex #gay #Lgbtq #men2men #girl #pleasure #desire #samesex

READ: #RELIGIOUSFREEDOM FOR MILITARY IS NOT OPTIONAL

Commanders must avoid knee-jerk, anti-religious decision-making. It has no place in our armed forces. Public reversal of a wrongly-made decision is humiliating + career-threatening.

No member of the armed forces should be compelled to choose between their #religious beliefs + faithful uniformed service. #ReligiousFreedom @WashTimes #tcot washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/…
If a #samesex couple can be accommodated by a service member willing to facilitate them, then a balance can be struck between the parties involved. #ReligiousFreedom @WashTimes #tcot
