This Christmas message invites us back to the manger—the unlikely cradle that held the Son of God and still holds us all. The Gospel stories of Jesus' birth, help us to reflect on a God who chose humility over power, closeness over distance, and love without limits. From shepherds to wise seekers, from Mary and Joseph to every generation since, the invitation remains the same: Come and see.In a world longing for peace, this sermon reminds us that the cradle is wide enough for everyone—the weary and the hopeful, the doubter and the believer. It calls us to childlike faith, radical inclusion, and a renewed vision of God with us and for us. From creation to the cradle to the cross, the story is one of love that welcomes, restores, and holds us forever. Whether you're exploring faith, returning after a long journey, or simply needing hope this Christmas—there is room for you here. To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture. Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

In this episode, we speak with Jain Moralee, CEO of Twenty10, about the impacts of the social media ban on young LGBTIQ+ people. Drawing on Twenty10's frontline work, Jain reflects on what young people are saying in the wake of the ban, particularly the loss of connection, affirmation and access to trusted information at a critical time in their lives. Jain shares a question raised by a young person that cuts to the heart of the issue: why are young people being punished for the actions of a minority who bully online, while the enormous social media organisations themselves are not being required to take responsibility for the safety of their users? The conversation explores how this sense of unfairness is compounding feelings of exclusion and powerlessness, and why policy responses must better balance protection with participation, accountability and care. The episode also looks at what meaningful alternatives can look like, including the importance of safe, well-moderated spaces designed with young people, rather than imposed on them. Jain outlines how Twenty10 is responding, and what young people need right now from governments, platforms and the broader community. Twenty10 proudly runs a series of free, accessible events across in-person and online formats for young people aged 12 to 25. These programs create safe, affirming spaces for connection, support and shared learning.

What does it really mean to be a rainbow family in the European Union? In this episode of Europe Talks Back, we explore the promise and the shortcomings of the European Certificate of Parenthood, a regulation meant to ensure that parenthood rights are recognised across all 27 EU countries. From Spain to Bulgaria, Italy to Poland, we look at what's happening when same-sex families cross borders, only to find that their legal status doesn't always travel with them. To unpack the legal grey zones, the clash between national sovereignty and EU law, and what all this means for the children caught in between, we spoke with Professor Alina Tryfonidou, an expert in EU law and a leading voice on LGBTIQ+ rights. Despite hopeful rulings from EU courts, many rainbow families remain in limbo, a stark reminder that equality on paper doesn't always mean equality in practice.Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co-production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Cal talks with South Australian Legislative Council Member Ian Hunter about the murder of George Duncan that ignited South Australia's push to decriminalise male homosexuality in 1975. Ian walks us through the behind the scenes lobbying by students, academic, law societies, and politicians that turned this historic event into legislative reform. He also explains how early AIDS activism blended community organising with direct access to health ministers, shaping a model of cooperative response. Ian makes a final call for younger generations to stay alert, because rights can be taken away by parliament just as easily as they were originally granted by Parliament.

This week, Naomi Loveday shared a powerful message on forgiveness titled “Forgiving the Unforgivable.” When she's not leading our Media Team or serving in Praise and Worship, Naomi works as a drug and alcohol counsellor with a deep passion for supporting people who've experienced trauma. For years, she wrestled with anger and bitterness from painful events in her past Feelings that kept her tied to those moments and made healing feel out of reach. But when God gently nudged her toward the difficult journey of forgiveness, Naomi began to experience the freedom and peace that can come when we release what's been holding us captive.

Join MIC as we explores what it means to live authentically in a world where truth often feels blurred by misinformation, fear, and judgment. Does truth still matter? Absolutely. Drawing from Scripture and the life of Jesus—the embodiment of truth—this sermon reminds us that: Truth sets us free, not to shame or exclude, but to live authentically and courageously. Truth restores, revealing God's love for every person without exception. Truth transforms, inviting us to live with integrity, honesty, and compassion.As we honour Transgender Day of Remembrance, we reflect on the truth that every life is sacred, every identity beloved, and no one should have to hide who they are to be accepted. Call to Action: Choose truth over fear. Choose authenticity over appearance. Choose compassion over judgment. Stand with those on the margins and let your life tell the truth about God's love. To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/give Melbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture. Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

A growing body of research shows that lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and other sexuality and gender-diverse (LGBTQ+) people experience disproportionately high levels of sexual violence. However, there is limited understanding of the characteristics and contexts of those who use sexual violence against LGBTQ+ individuals. Crossing Lines from the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health, and Society (or ARCSHS) will investigate unwanted sexual behaviours against LGBTQ+ people, aiming to generate actionable knowledge to improve responses to such violence. It focuses on the social forces, risk factors, and characteristics of those who use sexual violence. ARCSHS will conduct interviews with victim-survivors, those who use violence, and service providers to develop resources that better support victim-survivors and enhance interventions for those who use violence. Learn more about Crossing Lines here, and if you have used violence in the past and are comfortable sharing your story, contact ARCSHS at 03 9479 8700 or arcshs@latrobe.edu.au Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing at joy.org.au/wellwellwell.

The lurch rightwards in our politics has brought a wave of disinformation and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people.As well as exacerbating prejudice, the anti-LGBTIQ+ campaigns, many supported by US evangelicals and Russian oligarchs, foment social divisions and aim to weaken liberal democracy. That's why the new era of bigotry should be seen as a strategic threat for Europe, former Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar explains in this episode. Leo is currently a Senior Fellow for the Global LGBTQI+ Human Rights Program at the Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School. He stepped down as Taoiseach last year after serving two terms and making history as Ireland's first openly gay head of government.Among Leo's current concerns: how US diplomats and corporate executives who formerly supported LGBT rights have changed position or melted away, leaving regions like Central and Eastern Europe especially vulnerable."The fact that America is withdrawing from that space has left it open to Russia," says Leo. "That's where I think the European Union needs to come in and needs in many ways I think to fill the space of the Americans."A particular focus is Hungary, the EU state that is the subject of what Rémy Bonny, executive director of Forbidden Colours, calls the largest human rights lawsuit in the bloc's history.That lawsuit concerns a so-called child-protection law that censors inclusive sex education, equates LGBTI lifestyles with pedophilia, blocks adoption for LGBTI couples, and restricts content in media and advertising.A top advisor has already issued a preliminary finding against Hungary and the Court of Justice of the EU is expected to reach a verdict next year.A definitive ruling against Hungary "can't go without a meaningful response" from EU authorities, says Leo. "The treaties are worth nothing if that's the case."When it comes to EU politics, Leo encourages a return to centrist leadership rather than reliance by his political family, the center-right European People's Party, on the possibility of majorities with the far right."I much prefer us being in alliance with Liberals and Social Democrats and Greens."Leo also critiques fellow conservative Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, for saying "too little, too late" about homophobia in Hungary — and about Israel's conduct of the war in Gaza.Even so von der Leyen does "come around to the right position eventually, which is better than the reverse."As for Donald Trump, who Leo met several times as Taoiseach, the US president is taking a far more hostile approach to LGBT rights compared to his first term. Whether Trump actually leaves office after 2027 general could come down to the US military."It's a dangerous time."Asked whether he could have done more as Taoiseach to regulate the giant US tech companies that have bases in Ireland, Leo says he oversaw stepped up enforcement during his time in office. There was however a wider failure, where tech companies still are shielded from liability for the illegal and highly polarizing content hosted on their platforms."We allowed them to really get away with this idea that they're not publishers" and "that wasn't right," says Leo, who says he supports a crackdown on algorithms that amplify hate and toxicity.Support the show

Global funding cuts are worsening emergency aid's weaknesses when it comes to the LGBTQI+ community. The Trump administration is explicitly targeting trans people. And gender-related programming is among the first to be cut as humanitarian groups scale back. But there are steps humanitarians can take today – even amid widespread budget cuts – to better respond to the needs of LGBTQI+ people in emergencies. Guests:  Emily Dwyer, co-founder of the humanitarian and development organisation, Edge Effect. Jasmin Lilian Diab, director of the Institute for Migration Studies at the Lebanese American University. ____ Got a question or feedback?
