The Victorian Labor Government has announced further funding for organisations that support the LGBTIQ+ groups in response to “unnecessary, hurtful public debate around legal protections for young LGBTIQ+ Australians,” following the shelving of the religious discrimination bill.
The religious bill passed the lower house of the federal parliament on Feb. 10 after the Coalition agreed to amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act (SDA), which will prevent religious schools from excluding gay and lesbian students.
