Week 9 – LGBTQIA+
- → Synopsis
Synopsis
What do you tell a child or loved-one who believes God has placed them in the wrong body, and they need hormones and surgery to become someone else? The Christian family and church can help those confused by popular media and peer pressure to discover the person God created them to be.
Further Study
It is important to understand that much of the information here is the work of academics and advocates of the LGBTQIA+ agenda. These links are provided so that you may educate yourself based not upon a potentially biased Christian perspective, but through the unfiltered writings of those who promote this ideology.
Other links, such as those on the psychology of feelings, are provided as a basis for some of the discussion in this presentation and serve only as supplemental background material.
This should not be construed as an endorsement, only as an academically honest attempt to allow you, the reader, to form your own opinions.
