01:04.010 --> 01:05.690 align:middle line:90% the opposite there are over 40 01:05.690 --> 01:07.730 align:middle line:90% kids that I know who don't want 01:07.730 --> 01:09.290 align:middle line:90%

line:90% to transgenderism and LGBTQ 01:22.670 --> 01:24.920 align:middle line:90% lifestyle may support this 01:24.920 --> 01:26.540 align:middle line:90% mission to be all inclusive 01:26.540 --> 01:28.590 align:middle line:90% regardless of race, gender, 01:28.590 --> 01:30.440 align:middle line:90% and identity I don't believe 01:30.440 --> 01:31.970 align:middle line:90% my first grade and third grade 01:31.970 --> 01:33.680 align:middle line:90% Cousins are prepared to read 01:33.680 --> 01:35.150 align:middle line:90% and discuss about such issues 01:35.150 --> 01:37.550 align:middle line:90% at MSPs the issue of gender 01:37.550 --> 01:39.050 align:middle line:90% and sexuality are influenced 01:39.050 --> 01:40.550 align:middle line:90% by our faith and we should not 01:40.550 --> 01:42.950 align:middle line:90% be caricatured as intolerant 01:42.950 --> 01:45.020 align:middle line:90% and all and our face perceived 01:45.020 --> 01:46.460 align:middle line:90% to be subversive because it 01:46.460 --> 01:48.530 align:middle line:90% doesn't align with your beliefs 01:48.530 --> 01:49.610 align:middle line:90% intolerance of the faith 01:49.610 --> 01:50.870

pluralistic societies that value 01:59.840 --> 02:01.460 align:middle line:90% human dignity and do not view 02:01.460 --> 02:02.930 align:middle line:90% faith communities as a problem 02:02.930 --> 02:04.640 align:middle line:90% to be eliminated will only 02:04.640 --> 02:06.120 align:middle line:90% thrive and prosper. 02:06.120 --> 02:07.490 align:middle line:90% I respectfully request
