Sexual Identity Crisis: Tough Topics Presentation at Hopewell Community Church

Here is my 6/25/23 presentation on sexuality ("sexual orientation" and sexual identity) and gender as part of Hopewell Community Church's (of Pottstown, PA) teaching series on "tough topics." My camera battery died just as we were wrapping up, but we crammed a lot in!
