Pope Francis speaks on the Catholic Church's stance on the LGBTQ Community.

In 2020, January Littlejohn's daughter came home confused about her sexual identity after three of her close friends at school began identifying as transgender. Littlejohn, herself a licensed mental health counselor, did her best to support her daughter, opening the door to conversation and seeking out a mental health counselor. But as she relates, the real surprise came later:  When school started, my daughter got into the car and said, “Mom, I had a meeting today at school, and they asked me which restroom I wanted to use.” … What we learned that the school had done was socially transitioned our daughter without our notification or consent. And then they did something particularly nefarious: They asked our daughter what name they should call her when speaking to her parents, and that was to effectively deceive parents that these gender support transition plans had ever taken place. Â

The North Point pastor revealed that his church hosts a quarterly event for parents of LGBT-identifying children and teens. “You shouldn't be criticizing us. You should come and learn from us,” he said, addressing critics. “

The uproar amongst Christian Evalgeliests continues after Andy Stanley's sermon.

Ultimately, saving lives and restoring relationships sounds good.

Jesus' pastoral practice was, of course, unparalleled. He often surprised people.

A spinoff of the popular cartoon series Paw Patrol has introduced a new "non-binary" character to its programming.

The governor of California has vetoed a bill that would have required judges to consider if a parent affirms their child's gender identity when the court makes custody decisions.

A group of 36 North Carolina-based United Methodist churches are expected to depart the denomination come November.

On Friday, the California State Assembly approved a bill that would order judges in custody cases to consider whether or not parents have affirmed their child's gender.

A federal judge handed parental rights groups a major victory in California Thursday, blocking enforcement of a local school district policy that prevents teachers from telling parents if their child begins identifying under a different gender.

A law in St. Louis banning so-called transgender care for minors can now take effect after a judge struck down a lawsuit challenging it. Activists claim that the science in favor of transgender “care” is settled. It's not true. Thankfully this judge was willing to say it out loud.Â

An upcoming conference hosted by Andy Stanley's church for ministry leaders and parents of LGBTQ children is being called a “clear and tragic departure from Biblical Christianity” by a prominent evangelical leader, who says the lineup of speakers reveals the event's theological position.

Former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis seeks to issue an appeal to a jury ruling ordering her to pay $100,000 in damages for her refusal to sign a marriage license for a same-sex couple in 2015.

Years ago in a Breakpoint commentary, Chuck Colson described the jury selection process in the trial of Jack Kevorkian, the doctor accused of helping at least 27 of his patients kill themselves. Kevorkian's lawyer attempted to bar anyone who said their Christian faith forbids suicide from serving on the jury, claiming that belief made them unfairly biased.Religion has been increasingly relegated to the private sphere. Christians are welcome to participate in public life only if they leave their faith at home … [but] [t]he logic of Kevorkian's defense attorney could be applied to any criminal trial. If potential jurors can be excluded for believing that assisted suicide is immoral, what will be the next step? Will the attorneys of accused murderers be permitted to exclude jurors whose religion teaches that life is sacred? More than 25 years later, that dismal hypothetical seems less hypothetical.

A former Best Buy employee is planning to sue the major electronics retailer after he was allegedly fired for sharing his biblical views on sexuality and marriage.

The most important step we can take in helping people come to accept Christ as their savior is to live a life that draws people to him.Maintaining such a witness doesn't mean achieving perfection that is, ultimately, impossible on this side of heaven, but there are steps each of us can take that could help and blind spots we must address.Take social media, for example. We may like, share, and post content with little thought to how it might impact the way other people see us. The truth, however, is that our digital persona is often the primary expression of who we are for most of the people we know. After all, how many magnitudes more friends do you have on Facebook than you interact with in real life?To better understand the impact of your digital profile, ask a friend or family member to spend a few minutes going through your Facebook page, X (Twitter) feed, or other social media as if you were a stranger to them. Then, ask for an honest assessment of how they would characterize the person whose content they'd just read.

Alaska is expected to become the 24th state in the U.S. to ban transgender girls from competing in girls' sports.

A recent article in The Atlantic by Helen Lewis made the bold claim that “The Gender War Is Over in Britain.” An overstatement, to be sure, but not entirely unwarranted. Keir Starmer, head of the Labour Party, recently led his party away from full support of radical gender ideology. This was a notable shift for the United Kingdom's largest left-wing party, which had previously encouraged radical elements of trans activism and stood aside as feminists were canceled for resisting the new orthodoxy. The shift, which was quietly announced to the public, made “three big declarations.” Â

A federal appeals court this week delivered a major victory to opponents of transgender procedures for children, green-lighting an Alabama law that prohibits minors from receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone treatments and trans surgeries.

Are bodies something we merely “have,” or are our bodies essential to who we are?

A couple from Massachusetts is suing the Department of Children and Families (DCF) after they were reportedly blocked from fostering children due to their beliefs on gender, sexuality and marriage.

Recently, Chloe Cole, a 19-year-old young woman who was pressured to undergo transgender surgeries, challenged a social media video by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the populist astronomer and science personality. Although a legitimate astrophysicist, Dr. Tyson's public proclamations and videos are not always from his area of scientific expertise. In fact, they aren't always scientific.In this particular video, Tyson asserted, in favor of gender ideology, that “no matter my chromosomes today, I feel 80% female, 20% male. I'm going to put on makeup. I'm gonna do it. Tomorrow, I might feel 80% male.” Seemingly to Dr. Tyson, the ability of people of any gender to feel a particular way and then to put on makeup accordingly proves that “the XX/XY chromosomes are insufficient because when we wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender of our choice.” Dr. Tyson continued in a blatantly non-scientific statement, “What business is it of yours to require that I fulfill your inability to think of gender on a spectrum?”In her reply, Chloe Cole interspersed video of herself confronting his bizarre claims.

Recently, British author and journalist Helen Joyce offered a hard-to-hear but reasonable explanation for why transgender ideology continues to endure, despite its inherent contradictions, its obvious falsehoods, and the harm that has been inflicted on children. Her words are worth quoting at length:
