In this podcast, the Rev. John C. Dorhauer says, "Too many of our beautiful children are contemplating or choosing to die by suicide than to live another day with the vitriol, judgment, condemnation, and scapegoating that they are targeted with every day. That any of that is defended using Christ as the source of their hatred is--in its truest form--heresy of the highest order."
