Our young people are watching things like that online and are feeling sympathetic towards these people. My granddaughter, age 16, said she felt sorry for such people. My daughter-in-law and I were trying to tell her she has to base her values on the Bible, not on her feelings. I have seen parents compromise on these issues when one of their children comes out as gay or whatever. To me, it's the same as when our son decided to move in with a girlfriend. We still loved him, but we did not offer support for that decision, as we would have done if they married. A person cannot help if he or she is same sex attracted, but they can choose to live celibately and certainly choose not to mutilate their body.

The “Be Kind” type of person and movement is really what this is all about. People have been told again and again to be kind, tolerant, loving and accepting of everyone and everything. It’s gone way too far imo. Just like “helping” people through lifetime welfare from the nanny state has backfired (in terms of how it actually helps individuals and society), and parents being their kids’ friends, all started with good intentions but have served to do the opposite.
