REACH Kids took to Facebook to share images after they received a homophobic message from a parent.
The customer asked the Sydney-based company to provide “a normal person not one with coloured hair or supporting racial gender theories”.
Other stipulations included that the “babysitter needs to be from a Christian background” and that he/she would support their “teaching of anti-gay marriage”.
REACH kids posted screen grabs of the text message accompanied by the below text:
“Earlier today I received a rather alarming request for a sitter. I was asked to only send a sitter who was Christian and did not support the LGBT+ community. While I can understand wanting a sitter whose religious beliefs align with your own, to ask that the person serving you openly disrespects another group of people is outrageous!
“At REACH kids we are incredibly supportive of the diversity within our community. While we recognise not everyone feels the same, we firmly believe in equal rights for all, including the LGBT+ community.
“I have since turned away this customer based on their discriminatory behaviour toward the LGBT+ community”.
