I sent an email to Clover Moore last week. She is currently away on holidays for another 3 weeks and her receptionist informed me that clover personally reads and replies to all emails sent to her. Below is the email that i sent her....
Dear Clover Moore MP
I write to you today to request that you get behind a very important cause for Gay rights and discrimination. I am an ex member of the "Church" of Scientology and a homosexual myself. When the "Church" found out about this I was given a status of "Non-existence" which meant that no member of the church (except for my designated handlers) could look or speak to me as they believe that Homosexuality is a contagious disease. I was victimized and abused by this "Church" for a period of about 2 months including being connected to an E-metre (what Scientology claim to be a religious artefact, but is basically a very primitive form of a lie detector) and drilled for up to 8hrs at a time for weeks on end, before I finally escaped in the middle of the night.
In 1950 L. Ron Hubbard (LRH) published the book that would lead to his creating the religion known today as Scientology. This book was called Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Since that time it has never gone out of print. The book has sold over 17 million copies worldwide. In this book, LRH makes it clear that he views homosexuality as an illness or sexual perversion.
"The sexual pervert (and by this term Dianetics, to be brief, includes any and all forms of deviation in dynamic two such as homosexuality, lesbianism, sexual sadism, ect) is actually quite ill physically."
His answer to the problem was reviled to the public in his book Science of Survival: Prediction of Human Behaviour where he is quoted as saying;
"Such people should be taken from the society as rapidly as possible and uniformly institutionalized; for here is the level of contagion of immorality, and the destruction of ethics... No social order which desires to survive dares overlook its stratum 1.1s. No social order will survive which does not remove these people from its midst,"
LRH's son was in fact a homosexual himself and committed suicide as a result of his fathers opinions on the subject. You can view a brief video about this here;

I would also like to invite you to view a face book group that I have created called "GLBT strike out against Scientology". Here you can watch a few other movies regarding gay scientologists including other gay ex members telling their stories.

Senator Nick Xenophon has called on the Government to launch a Senate Enquiry into Scientology and their many human rights abuses
There are many groups that this "church" has target and committed hate crimes against. There are a group of ex scientologists that are hoping to help organise group protests from the Gay community and we would like your support in this. We of course would encourage you to look into this matter and do all the research that you need to make an educated decision. Another site that I recommend is the Ex Scientologist message board this is a forum site dedicated for ex scientologists to share their stories about their experiences good and bad. This can be a great website to learn what this Church is really about.

Senator Nick Xenophon has called on the Government to launch a Senate Enquiry into Scientology and its many human rights abuses. He is quoted as saying "Ultimately, this is not about religious freedom. In Australia there are no limits on what you can believe. But there are limits on how you can behave. It is called the law, and no one is above it." I ask you to help get behind this cause and bring to justice this organisation that destroys lives and abuses human rights and particularly those of Homosexuals, which I know is a subject of great passion for yourself and you, have done a lot of amazing things for our community already.
I would like to formally request an opportunity to meet with you and discuss these concerns at your convenience. You can reach me during business hours on (number removed) and on this email or you can contact me outside of business hours on (email removed).
I would like to thank you in advance for looking into this subject as I appreciate how busy you are and hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards
Allan Averay - Jones
