DON'T TEACH CHILDREN TRANSGENDER IDENTITY - POPE FRANCIS WARNS

Leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis
has stated his disagreement with teaching kids
in school about transgender issues. According
to the Pope, teaching kids to change their
sexual identity is a war against marriage, saying
changing a kid's mentality on sexual identity in
schools is 'ideological colonization'.
On Sunday , during a return flight to Rome at the
end of a three-day trip to Georgia and
Azerbaijan, the Pope talked about a meeting
with a French man whose young son wanted to
be a girl after reading about it in a textbook in
school.
According to the Pope, he still spends time with
Transgender people, trying to lead them closer
to God.
"This is against nature," he said. "It is
one thing when someone has this
tendency ... and it is another matter to
teach this in school. To change the
mentality -- I call this ideological
colonization. Today, in schools they are
teaching this to children -- to children! --
that everyone can choose their gender,"
Pope Francis
Sometime in August, the Pope blasted the
teaching of gender identity in schools, calling it
'terrible'
Francis DeBernardo, executive director of New
Ways Ministry, a Catholic LGBT advocacy group
has criticized the Pope, saying people 'discover
their identity', they don't 'choose it'
"The pontiff's remarks are further
evidence that church officials need
desperately to educate themselves about
the lives and experiences of LGBT
people," said Francis DeBernardo,
executive director of New Ways Ministry.
Nobody chooses a gender identity. They
discover it."
