If you've had the death of your child staring you in the face and you still talk like this about them...

I say facts based on the scientific method of research. But hey, we're splittin' hairs at this point right?

If Jesus said that he came not to do away with the law, but to fulfill it. Seems to me that he was endorsing the WORD of God and the LAW of God, which includes Leviticus. But again, I am not a Christian, nor a Theologist.

I would support my child, no matter matter what, but I would not support any physical transgender changes, since I believe this is a mental illness.

Homosexual doesn't mean sterile. We can and do have biological children through the marvels of modern medical science.
