  • 31:20 - I have a transgender nephew. We are all Catholic. I am struggling because he wants to be addressed as a female, but I don’t want to cause scandal for my kids and nieces. How do I meet him where he is but also do the right thing? 
  • 41:35 –  Do you think that some people feel drawn to the gay lifestyle because the heterosexual lifestyle has become too painful and complicated? 
  • 48:35 - I have been struggling with people asking me at work to call them by different gender pronouns. I see a lot of fluidity in gender in nature in animals. How do you know that this gender fluidity is wrong and not what God wants? 
  • 50:28 - I was chatting with someone and didn’t know they were gay. I spoke about the pain and trauma that can sometimes cause people to explore different gender identities and this person was horrified that I thought trauma made them gay. I did not know how to best respond. How can I answer them?
