Gays are openly discriminated upon by Aussie churches

In Australia, churches are permitted to openly discriminate against homosexual, lesbian and transgender people despite the fact these churches receive millions of dollars in state support each year. In addition, gays can even be denied social services and employment opportunities by churches.

In both the United States and Great Britain, there are anti-discrimination laws that disallow such behaviors by organizations which receive money from the government. Reportedly, Anglicare Sydney received more than 55 million Australian dollars.

New Hampshire's top daily balks at publishing gay wedding notices

New Hampshire's Union Leader of Manchester is refusing to publish gay wedding notices in its pages, despite the fact that same-sex marriage is legal in the New England state. New Hampshire is one of five U.S. states that recognize gay marriage.

However, publisher Joe McQuaid reportedly said the paper isn't 'anti-gay' but does believe "marriage" should be reserved as something between a man and a woman. Notably, the Union Leader is a privately owned publication. Previously, the newspaper has taken an editorial stand against the state's move to legalize same-sex marriage.
