Questions Covered:

10:00 – Is a boy who says he “feels like a girl” or vice-versa basically saying God is not good at creating?
18:33 – I had a friend who I learned who was going to marry another man. I told him I couldn’t go to the wedding. Because of this I learned a bunch of my friends are gay and they are now mad at me. How can I make amends with them?
33:15 – What kind of training is the Church giving priests to minister to same-sex attracted people? When I was in high school (60+ years ago) the priest wouldn’t even talk to me.
36:50 – Does the use of hormones in contraception and in our food have an effect on mental health?
48:25 – I’m all about inclusion and acceptance. What has helped me is that when I notice the haters, I ask them “imagine if a woman’s brain went into your body and your brain went into her body. And then the doctor asks you what gender are you.” That makes people think.
