Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon appoints a very young homosexual as a Health Ambassador! The Rudd Government Health Minister, Nicola Roxon, has announced the appointment of three more ‘Men’s Health Ambassadors’ and unfortunately one of them is a young active homosexual, Matthew Mitcham. At least the other two are mature men who have health and medical degrees to their names!

What credentials has Mr Mitcham got for the post? None.
He is a good diver, he won a Gold Medal at the China Olympics and good on him for that, but how does that qualify him for the post? It doesn’t.

21 reasons Why Gender Matters

Miss Roxon's statement seems to suggest that her reason for choosing him is because he has battled depression and anxiety. Yet this is something that is common among young homosexuals for many reasons, but mostly because they know homosexuality is unnatural and they don’t like who they are.

Unfortunately Matthew will not be a very healthy roll model for many young people because he could persuade them it is OK to be, and to act out, their homosexuality! Remember Warwick Marsh? He was the Christian Family man and men's advocate sacked by Nicola Roxon just 24 hrs after being appointed as a Men’s Health Ambassador. WHY? Because he co-authored, a well researched booklet about the importance of male/female relationships and the natural family called “21 Reasons Why Gender Matters”.

What was so wrong with Marsh and that booklet? It told the truth and that is not politically correct today. Not according to the Rudd government. Telling the truth about homosexuality, stating children need a mum & a dad, that the two parent family unit is important and showing how important the distinctions between the sexes, the TWO of them - male and female – are, is not deemed good healthy information according to Miss Roxon.

Despite this booklet being well researched from a ‘secular/health’ perspective that was not well enough for Roxon because any mention that homosexuality and same-sex relationships are wrong, unhealthy or bad environments in which to raise children was not going to be supported on her watch and not on the Prime Minister’s watch either.

Yes, the same Prime Minister who even courted the Christian vote and was promoted by Christians before the last election.
