11. Gender Identity Issues in Children
Speaker: Becky Fischer, Founder/Director of Kids in Ministry International
Nobody wants to talk about it. Bringing up the subject of sexual issues of any kind in children is very uncomfortable. But we can no longer ignore the fact that same-sex attractions and, ultimately, a lifestyle of homosexuality are not teen or adult issues. The roots begin in childhood and sometimes infancy. It can be reversed if parents, teachers, and ministers know the signs and what to do.
Contrary to popular belief, you can’t just cast a homosexual demon out and expect the problem to disappear. You can’t just “pray your gay away.” These issues are deep-rooted and complex. They require prayer, counselling, and support from strong friends. We must understand that homosexuality is not something a gay person “does.” It is something they believe themselves to “be.”

From SSCM Student Retha W. “I just want to say how much I appreciated the way Becky handled this subject! It is so needed today as so many families are in agony over this very thing.”
