Australian Wedding Magazine Folds After Refusing to Feature Same-Sex Couples

An Australian wedding magazine is shutting down after refusing to feature same-sex couples in their copy. In a farewell blog post, White Magazine said the decision led to a mass exodus of advertisers and made their continued operation unsustainable.

“A campaign was launched targeting the magazine, our team and our advertisers. Couples who have featured in our magazine have also been the subject of online abuse despite their individual beliefs. We’re really saddened by this,” the publication said.

“The result has been that a number of advertisers withdrew their sponsorship out of fear of being judged, or in protest. We have had to recognize the reality that White Magazine is no longer economically viable.”

We've written a statement and shared a bit of our story, which we've posted on our website. We'd love to invite you to read it.

Posted by White Magazine on Friday, November 16, 2018



In their post, the publishers of the magazine, Luke and Carla Burrell, said that while the publication had been secular, accepting same-sex marriage was a struggle for them because of their Christian faith.

“White Magazine has always been a secular publication, but as its publishers, we are Christian,” they said. “Instead of allowing us the space to work through our thoughts and feelings, or being willing to engage in brave conversations to really hear each other’s stories, some have just blindly demanded that we pick a side.”

The farewell post ended with a long quote from the Bible’s Book of Corinthians.

Same-sex marriage was legalized in Australia last year reflecting years of strong support from the Australian public. The fate of White Magazine is another illustration of the power advertiser boycotts can have over media companies who run afoul of public opinion.

In the United States, they have been employed mostly by liberal watchdog groups like Media Matters for America and Sleeping Giants to devastating effect on targets like Fox News and Breitbart.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eguana Technologies (TSX.V: EGT) (OTCQB: EGTYF) is pleased to announce it has been approved for both the South Australia Home Battery Scheme and CEFC home battery financing providing direct access to $100 million in subsidies and low interest loans for residential battery storage.  As part of the program, Eguana will produce its Evolve home battery systems in the state.Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment David Ridgway said it’s another major coup for South Australia’s renewables sector.  “I’m pleased to welcome Eguana as the latest international company to invest in South Australia,” Mr. Ridgway said.

“From its headquarters in Calgary, Canada, Eguana Technologies designs and manufactures high performance residential and commercial energy storage systems, so to be able to bring their skills and technology to South Australia is a significant win.”

“The Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment has been working with Eguana for some time now to attract them to our state and this investment is further proof that South Australia is indeed the heartland of renewables in our country.”

Chief Executive Officer at Eguana Technologies Justin Holland stated South Australia was a key market for the Company and the Home Battery Scheme will open up the largest demand market in the world.  The Evolve product, which was tested and recently endorsed by Mercedes Benz Energy, has been designed with full grid services capabilities.

"The Virtual Power Plant requirement for the Home Battery program is the first of its kind and the Evolve product was designed and developed to deliver a full suite of grid services supporting sophisticated programs like these that go well beyond basic backup power and self-consumption capabilities,” Mr. Holland said.

“We have already begun working with South Australian government services to establish supply partners and manufacturing capabilities in South Australia and look forward to supporting the South Australian economy and energy storage customers.

“The Marshall Government’s $100 million home battery storage scheme, the CEFC’s $100 million MOU and today’s announcement confirm that South Australia is a world leader in the utilisation of solar technology.”

Minister for Energy and Mining Dan van Holst Pellekaan noted that Eguana has two decades of experience delivering grid edge power electronics for fuel cell, photovoltaic and battery applications, and delivers proven, durable, high quality solutions from its high capacity manufacturing facilities in Europe and North America.

“Through our Home Battery Storage Scheme, 40,000 South Australian households will have access to $100 million in State Government subsidies to pay for the installation of home battery systems,” Mr. van Holst Pellekaan said.

“Under the scheme, priority will be given to System Providers that commit to installing approved battery systems that are manufactured or assembled in South Australia, and I’m pleased that Eguana Technologies is bringing their Evolve system to the program.”

FOREVER 21 IN PETA'S CROSSHAIRS AFTER EXPOSÉS SHOW SHEEP MUTILATED ON FARMS

Monday 19 November, 2018International Campaign Launched After Two New PETA Asia Investigations Reveal Even More Horrific, Pervasive Abuse in Wool Industry

London – Two new PETA video exposés recorded on sheep farms in Australia (the world's largest exporter of wool and a source of wool used by Forever 21) show workers beating petrified sheep in the face, deliberately mutilating them, and cutting their throats while they were fully conscious. PETA is now launching a worldwide campaign against Forever 21 to urge it to stop supporting the abusive wool industry.

One of the videos shows a farm manager carving swathes of flesh from lambs' hindquarters with shears as they struggle and cry out. It also shows workers cutting and burning off their tails with a hot knife and no painkillers. A second video, shot by a PETA Asia eyewitness, reveals even more abuse: shearers are seen striking sheep in the face with sharp metal clippers, kneeling on their stomachs, and throwing them about. One worker bragged that he once "hit one [sheep] so hard I knocked it out. F**ked it under the jaw a bit too hard."

"Forever 21 knowingly supports cruelty to animals by selling clothing that's a product of violence and extreme suffering," says PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk. "PETA is appealing to the company to show that it opposes such horrific abuse by going wool-free."

PETA Asia has asked Australian law-enforcement officials to investigate the findings for violations of each state's Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and to file appropriate charges.

PETA says that time's up for Forever 21. These new videos mark the 10th and 11th global exposés of the wool industry that PETA US has shared with the company, going as far back as 2014. PETA affiliates have documented cruelty to sheep on 27 farms in Australia and a total of 99 properties on four continents.

PETA's motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to wear." For more information, please visit PETA.org.uk.
