Videos and talks like this are why so many LGBTQ+ kids and young adults feel lost and trapped and afraid while in the Catholic Church. This woman might be some girl's "Beyoncé" but could very well be the thing that drives another young kid to experience doubt, shame, and self-hatred if they know that their sexual orientation or gender identity doesn't line up with exactly what Sarah Swafford preaches. God is love, and love is love. If you are an LGBTQ+ person who has ever been told anything like in this video, know that you are amazing and beautiful and valid.
Amazing. God Bless you Father John! Video that shook me, moved me. People need to see this.

As a practicing Catholic I want to like these talks. They have some goods one but then they unleash this stuff and I have to walk away.
What was the video she showed? Just curious
