World Congress of Families: protesters vow to shut down conference

Protesters against Saturday’s World Congress of Families conference in Melbourne have said thousands of people will try to shut down the meeting, blockading the entrance and attempting to prevent people from attending.

A group calling itself the Coalition to Beat Back the Far Right said the congress, which advocates for the “natural family” of a married man and woman, was not just a meeting of “conservative nutters” but sought to influence government policy.

The congress’s managing director, Larry Jacobs, has supported Russia’s “crusade” against homosexuality and laws banning “homosexual propaganda”. A controversial doctor, Angela Lanfranchi, who believes there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, is scheduled to give a keynote address.

“This is not just about spewing hate,” said organiser Debbie Brennan. “It’s actually about legislating the hate. That is why we have come together to confront them.” Protesters planned an “unwelcome ceremony” in the morning to disrupt the event, followed by an “equal love rally” and a “party against hate”.

My guess is that the conference would be more welcome in Uganda or Russia, but perhaps they think their work in those places is done so they want to try to bring their version of "change" to Australia. I don't think they are going to have the kind of success there that they have had in Uganda and Russia.
