Your words have the power to end suffering of LGBTQ youth | Kat Clark | TEDxTauranga
Social change happens through tiny, everyday actions of acceptance and love.
Kat is a gay woman, adopted by a New Zealand family from Russia when she was three, who has experienced the confusion, fear and depression of LGBTQ youth on her path to finding acceptance.
Kat now works fearlessly on behalf of the LGBTQ community where she has two Youth Week awards and is a Local Hero New Zealander of the Year.

Kat, I was a mum from the soccer team you coached at that christian school. You shone then - as you still do. You lead those kids in the way you lead now and we are all better people for knowing you. Thank you for being you.

She looks like that one person that looks like a Karen but she is not a Karen in reality.
Enough of this BS - if someone is lgbtq that is their choice - bless them - however, I do not need to participate in validating their esteem.

So you just want to be hateful towards them? They aren't asking for your support, they want people like you to just let them live their lives.

@@ClinomaticVixen I don't know why people get crossed on that I get you this is like the Christian Community that's been persecuting. they're think there the victims. LGBT are not no victims we are survivors baby we are the survivors trying to teach the other ones to stop persecuting everybody else that's our brothers and sisters they're blind with hate. God's trying to free These Eyes now ❤️🙏 are blind with fear and they won't read books they just won't read and Trust themselves because of that's a cult indoctrinating.

Look, people, God does not accept homosexuality/LGBTQ Rom 1;24-28, 1 Cor 6:9-11, Rev 21:8-10 makes that very clear you, people need to stop all your arguing, whining, and crying it is what it is, get over yourselves and come to terms with the real truth...😊😊😊
