I had planned to discuss a different topic in my message today, but this can’t wait. My heart has been broken over the last few weeks as I’m contacted more and more often lately from readers, listeners and viewers who are grieving for their children — children who have recently announced they’re either homosexual or “transgender.” These parents are devastated as they mourn for their kids, and even more so because their kids refuse to talk to them or listen to anything they have to say.
So this message is for those young people who believe they’re somewhere on the LGBTQP+ spectrum or believe they’re “transgender.” I’m going to be speaking specifically to high school and college-age students here, but younger children are now struggling with this as well.
So young people, maybe you won’t listen to your parents. But maybe — just maybe — you’ll listen to me, a stranger. Now, I have no doubt that what I’m about to say is going to make you very angry. You’ll be tempted to reject outright all the information I’m going to share with you. I hope you don’t do that. I have no reason to lie to you. What’s more, I’m sure that you, as a young person hate hypocrites and liars. You pride yourself on being open-minded and inclusive. You may even claim that all opinions have an equally valid place at the table, and all information should be considered before making an informed decision. My first question to you, then, is — are you willing to listen to what I have to say, with an open mind? Or do you only listen to what validates what you already believe?…
