The inaugural Youth Pride Conference, which is being hosted by GLSEN Collier, will take place May 21 at Naples United Church of Christ (UCC) and is intended "for LGBTQ youth seeking to explore LGBTQ-related issues they face today," according to the event's page.
Youth aged 12 to 18 are invited to attend the all-day event, which the organizer boasts will include free breakfast and lunch, "as well as a drag show from some of our local drag queens."
The conference will also feature several breakout sessions with a variety of presenters from across the state, who will discuss such topics as mental health, gender dysphoria, "forbidden queer literature," "inclusive sex education," "intersectionality and prejudices within the community," as well as "political action and advocacy."
Isaac Salazar, who is outreach and education coordinator for the Zebra Coalition, is slated to deliver the event's keynote address.
A sign-up form for the event requires users to sign off that they acknowledge that the event is not affiliated with Naples UCC or Collier County Public Schools.

The country is sick
Its not a church, wolf in sheep’s clothing.
A church doing this? How can they call themselves a church encouraging kid drag queens?
This is no Church of Christ.
United Church of Christ (not to be confused with other churches named “Church of Christ” without the word “United”) in it is run by a bunch of leftists who believe the first book of the bible is the Democrat party playbook.
For reference, Obama’s church (Jeremiah Wright) was also United Church of Christ.
Our civilization is in a death spiral. Will it ever recover?
What’s new? Some religions behead people if they don’t agree with them.
Yep. Obama’s church IIRC.
It is. I’m no longer a Methodist. The last time I attended, I walked out saying what the hell was that?

And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Always run away from the title word “United”.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
So sad
Did they ask themselves “What would Jesus do”?
Gross and evil.
Romans 1:18-32 NIV
God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
But OF COURSE it’s UCC.
