A ‘Christian Lives Matter’ Group Of 200+ People Allegedly Attacked 15 Queer Protestors In Sydney

A “Christian Lives Matter” group of about 500 people attended a scheduled speech by One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham on Tuesday night, but things turned (even more) south when it’s alleged that 200 of them swarmed and attacked a group of 15 queer activists. It hasn’t even been a week since the last violent anti-LGBTQIA+ protest. I’m so fkn tired. The large crowd gathered at St Michael’s Church Hall in NSW’s Belfield to hear renowned anti-LGBTQIA+ muppet Mark Latham talk about keeping queer activism out of schools, “religious freedom” and “parental rights”. So basically the usual far-right Christian bullshit. NSW Police gathered on the scene once things reportedly became violent. “During the event, it is alleged a number of glass bottles and other projectiles were thrown at police,” NSW Police said in a statement. NSW Police charged a 41-year-old man with common assault and arrested a 34-year-old for encouraging the commission of crimes.

This brutal attack on peaceful LGBTI+ protesters should make it clear that Christian Lives Matter is a violent fascistic hate group supported by One Nation & Mark Latham who did nothing to stop the wave of violent attacks carried out in his name tonight pic.twitter.com/BvAuvPtJzE

Before the speak out even began hundreds of far right protesters charged out of the church and surrounded the small group of LGBTI+ activists and pelted them with rocks, bottles and punches as a small number of police struggled to hold them back.

I’m sure this news is shocking to many of you, it shows that the far right are a serious violent threat in Sydney right now and that we all need to stand together and protect each other.
In solidarity.

These transgender radical Leftwing protesters cannot continue to go around threatening to block public roads and access to a church, a place of worship.
The law should deal with them.
Their provocation triggered the wild scenes at Belfield.
Enough is enough.
