DEBATE: LGBTQ+ in the Church? | Andrew Wilson Vs Matthew J. Distefano

What was said

"Nobody's ever been able to explain to me why it is that we needed to have a massive fight in the United States debates over whether or not you could change the sex of a 10-year-old. That came exclusively from the fact that there was an infrastructure built by the LGBTQ who put these people front and center."

Orthodox Christian Andrew Wilson directly blamed the transgender movement and debates over child transitions on LGBTQ advocacy infrastructure. He argued this represents proof of the 'slippery slope' from gay marriage to radical social change, citing the issue as evidence of destabilization caused by progressive sexual ethics.
