'If you have any such material on display in your library, could you please remove it from the public area.'
MELBOURNE, Australia (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic university in Australia has taken a stand against the LGBT agenda, ordering staff to remove the gay “pride” flags hanging in the campus library.
In an email sent to staff at the school’s Melbourne campus in February, Australian Catholic University (ACU) asked that the pride flags on display in the library be removed, reminding staff that their presence was not aligned with the institution’s Catholic identity.
“It is not considered to be appropriate at ACU,” the email reads, according to a local report. “If you have any such material on display in your library, could you please remove it from the public area.”
The email came in response to the placement of pride flags in the university library during a February orientation week for new students. The incident also coincided with Australia’s national gay pride event, Sidney WorldPride, which was held from February 17 to March 5.
Despite the school having an explicitly Catholic identity, and the fact that the Catholic Church is clear in her teaching that acting on homosexual or gender-confused inclinations is gravely sinful, the order sparked backlash from various staff and students, with LGBT societies from the university crafting an open letter to the ACU’s vice-chancellor, Zlatko Skrbis, to express their outrage.
In the letter, the groups decried what they claimed was a “direct affront… to the common good.”
“When you and your representatives should have been promoting messages of celebration, you have decided to ban pride imagery and instead send a message that LGBTIQ+ people are not welcome at your university,” the letter reads.

Maybe this is our Aubrey Hale moment ...
I imagine the riots and burning of buildings has begun
Good, It’s time to stop kowtowing to the mentally insane people.
Stop ‘asking’ and start doing - just remove them and burn them in a barrel.
We should’ve stopped years ago!
The bigger question should be why is it in there in the first place? Maybe it’s just me but I haven’t seen any flags or posters for white religious people..../s
Good, there is no reason whatsoever for certain special interest groups to have their flags up everywhere, while others must keep theirs down. The LGBT movement reminds me of old kingdoms having tons of privileges and overreaching rights. LGPT is acting more and more like bully crushing true equity.
Lets make democracy great again!

why not take that ride you dream about?
I’d like too, but right now have some serious family obligations.
Also, I ain’t in the same shape I was in 1995 when I wrote that song. LOL.
I’ve been joking, rather seriously, that I’d like to get on my Harley for a ride on a sunny Florida day and ride to Fuddruckers for a cheeseburger.
...in Billings Montana
Oh my...your “Riding Season” must be even shorter than mine in New England.
When I lived in Florida, I rode nearly every day (sigh). :-)
From South Florida to Montana. Eat cheeseburger. Return to South Florida. With multiple stops of course.
Maybe July...
It’s those multiple stops that make the difference in your journey.
