Our Letter on Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026

We support targeted action to address antisemitism, but we oppose expanding this bill to additional groups at this time. Any new hate laws must be precise, evidence-based, and explicitly protect freedom of expression.

LGB Alliance Australia Welcomes Queensland’s Decision to Pause Puberty Blockers

Queensland’s decision to continue the pause on puberty blockers for minors is a vital safeguarding measure, especially given the Review’s conclusion that the evidence base is limited. Young people presenting to these services often have complex needs, and some are gender non-conforming or distressed while making sense of emerging same-sex attraction - they deserve time, support, and rigorous assessment, not automatic medical pathways.

Submission to the Review of Consumer and Community Involvement in Health Research

LGB Alliance Australia has urged the NHMRC to strengthen its Draft Statement on Consumer and Community Involvement in Health and Medical Research. Our submission warns that the draft risks allowing advocacy interests to overshadow scientific independence and lacks strong conflict of interest safeguards. We also raise concerns about the draft’s reliance on lived experience without recognising viewpoint diversity, and we call for clearer role definitions that keep health research grounded in evidence and scientific integrity.

What We Told Queensland Health About Safeguarding LGB Youth

Our submission to the Queensland Review shows why puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors are unsafe, experimental, and lack strong evidence.

We outline the risks to same-sex attracted and gender-nonconforming young people and call for a cautious, evidence-led approach that puts safeguarding first.

LGB Alliance Australia concerned over NHMRC Gender Guidelines Panel Selection

Children in distress need careful assessment, not fast tracked medical pathways. They deserve a genuinely impartial NHMRC review shaped by evidence, not ideology. The panel announced this week lacks balance. Prominent clinicians who support cautious, evidence based approaches are missing.

This is Gay Conversion 2.0 and it must stop. Our full statement explains why.
