00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,680
Most people out there are
attracted to people of a different sex
2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,160
and live their lives as the gender
on their original birth certificate.
3
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:12,160
Some people have a different
sexual orientation or gender identity.
4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,040
There's nothing wrong with
being heterosexual or straight,
5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,240
or with being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,800
Transgender, Queer, or Asexual.
7
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:24,080
All of these are perfectly natural and deadly.
8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,400
Everyone deserves to be
loved up by their mob,
9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,880
their friends, their family, their community.
10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,720
And people can still be a person of faith
11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:32,720
or not,
12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,240
whichever they prefer.
13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,160
In New South Wales, all people,
regardless of sexual orientation
14
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:40,320
or gender identity,
15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,280
should feel welcome and valued
16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,240
and be able to live authentically
17
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:45,480
and with pride.
18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,920
There are those who believe
that being LGBTQA is an illness,
19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,120
a choice, a disorder,
20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,720
or even a disease.
21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,800
They believe it can be changed,
22
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,120
or hidden.
23
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,120
They believe that things can be done
to stop a person being LGBTQA,
24
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,400
or to fix them.
25
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800
These actions might look like counselling,
26
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,360
never ending referrals,
27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,200
prayer,
28
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,200
or pastoral conversation,
29
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,520
that is intended to change or suppress
someone's gender or sexuality.
30
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,240
Some people who believe these things,
31
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,120
also believe that a person who has
a different sexual orientation
32
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,160
or gender identity,
33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,520
can’t also be a person of faith.
34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,320
But we know these so-called
conversion practices
35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,720
are deeply harmful,
36
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,080
they don't work,
37
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,400
and they’re damaging
to the whole community.
38
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Faith and identity aren’t mutually exclusive,
39
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,320
and numerous faith communities
actively support LGBTQA people.
40
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,480
The laws in New South Wales protect
people's rights to have religious beliefs,
41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,520
and people also have the right
to be safe and free from harm.
42
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,920
New South Wales now has a law
against conversion practices.
43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,280
These practices,
44
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,760
whether done by your own mob,
45
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,280
your family members, health
professionals or healthcare providers,
46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,120
disability support providers, teachers
47
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,680
or faith leaders, among others,
48
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,480
are now unlawful
49
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,840
because they are based on ideas
that we now know are untrue and harmful.
50
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,360
The law says the practice is illegal if it's:
51
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,080
directed at an individual,
52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,520
because of their sexual
orientation or gender identity,
53
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,680
to try make them change or
suppress their sexual orientation
54
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,040
or gender identity.
55
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,280
It is not a conversion practice
56
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,880
to state what a religion says
about a particular topic,
57
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,880
provided it's not directed at
changing or suppressing
58
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600
an individual's sexual orientation
or gender identity.
59
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,680
There's nothing wrong
or broken about LGBTQA people.
60
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,360
It's damaging to say LGBTQA
people should be fixed,
61
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,240
and it's inaccurate to say
they can be fixed or healed.
62
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,080
We know that survivors of these practices
can suffer complex and chronic trauma.
63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,680
People can suffer ongoing problems
and heavy costs for many years.
64
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,080
LGBTQA people can lose their families,
65
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,720
friends and communities.
66
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480
These practices can lead to
long-term mental health issues
67
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,720
and in the most tragic of cases,
68
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,400
suicide.
69
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:11,400
Reports about conversion practices
70
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720
can be made to Anti-Discrimination NSW.
71
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Formal complaints may lead to conciliation
between the people involved,
72
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,480
targeted education
or further investigation.
73
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,680
In New South Wales, it’s a crime
to provide a conversion practice
74
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,280
that causes substantial
mental or physical harm
75
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,480
or endangers an individual's life.
76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,680
This can lead to up
to five years in prison.
77
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,280
It is also a crime to take someone outside
of New South Wales for these practices,
78
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040
or to engage someone from
outside of New South Wales
79
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,920
to deliver these practices to
someone in New South Wales.
80
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,920
This can lead to up to three years
in prison, a fine or both.
81
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,280
If you or someone you know
is being subjected to these practices,
82
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,240
reach out.
83
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,440
you can make a report to
Anti-Discrimination NSW.

we all have a role to play in
challenging harmful ideology
87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,160
