Freedom 2B General Appeal

Freedom 2 b[e] is a not-for-profit, community-based organisation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people and their supporters, from Christian backgrounds, seeking reconciliation because of a perceived conflict of faith, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Freedom 2 b[e]'s major focus is the prevention of harm, through support, connection, and providing resources.

Statistics from Suicide Prevention Australia (SPA) show that "same sex attracted individuals attempt suicides at a rate of 3.5 to 14 times those of their heterosexual peers, and that one in five transgender people report current suicidal feelings".

Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows homosexual and bisexual people have higher levels of anxiety disorders than their heterosexual counterparts (31 percent compared with 14 percent); and more than triple the rate of depression and related disorders (19 percent compared with 6 percent). Some studies have shown that these alarming statistics are even higher for those from faith/religious backgrounds. Contributing factors include rejection by family and friends, internal conflict, isolation and stigma attached to their identity.
