[quote=Anonymous]I hope marriage equality gets codified, but it’s not yet, and a Supreme Court justice explicitly said he’s coming for it. As for trans youth, it’s important to note that puberty blockers (medications that are far more common before adulthood than surgical treatments) are reversible, and being treated with affirmation (name, pronouns, dress/expression) has an incredibly positive impact on trans youth mental health — hugely important since they are among the highest risk of suicide. In general, I think it’s crucial that we allow the parents and physicians of trans youth to lead policy here.

Re: the pastor question, we all have the individual right to believe what we want, but there should be limits, like banning conversion therapy (trauma and torture). No, we can’t legislate churches out of all bad theology, we have to win in the court of public opinion there. But it is crucial that churches be up front about what they actually believe and not bait and switch people. There’s a movement for this called Church Clarity and it’s really important work.[/quote]
