- POLICE ALERT FOR ANY MORE PRIDE EVENT DISTURBANCES (Times, February 20):
James Bremner
Stay away from the kids. What is hard to understand about that?
Jemma Allen
There is a big difference between accepting and enjoying the diversity in our communities (which is what Pride is about) and protesting against people’s rights to safety and equality in the law (which you call anti-gay). Being neutral isn’t possible when it is about human rights and dignity/safety.
Erin Cook
Destiny Church can stay away! We don’t need you protesting in an area where Pride is welcome … it’s you that’s not welcome Destiny Church!
- PROTEST AT CHILDREN’S PRIDE MONTH EVENT CONDEMNED (Times, February 17):
Donna Leckie
They have a right to protest – definitely. Stand outside, wave signs, sing songs. All good. Forcefully enter a community venue and intimidate staff and visitors is not okay.
Kim Paterson
Destiny Church needs to be reined in. We live in a country who teaches acceptance (obviously the part of the Bible they’ve missed). What they did was completely unacceptable.
If they want to protest, do it in their own space without shaming individuals!
Pamela Woolley
It’s a disgrace for a church to behave like hooligans … no respect, they should be reported and take responsibility.
Pamela Slater
I think that whilst you mentioned the police have received “allegations of assaults”, you left out the extensive first-hand accounts of parents having to barricade their babies and toddlers into the back of the library, as well the 16-year-old girl who was left concussed. If you’re going to cover it, please cover it properly or not cover it at all.
Carl Barbour
Why do drag queens need to read to children? If they want to help the community then why not read in a retirement village?
