Pastor Sparks Debate: Are Churches Safer Than LGBTQ+ Communities for Children?

A recent video by Pastor CT, a US-based pastor, has sparked debate about child safety. He claims that churches pose a greater risk to children than exposure to LGBTQ individuals, citing a history of sexual abuse within religious institutions. "If you are more worried about your children around LGBTQ people than you are taking them to church you might need to look at the statistics and look for a church with safe policies and guidelines to protect children." he states in his video. This statement highlights the need for churches to prioritize child safety and transparency. While the video lacks specific statistics, it raises important questions about accountability and the responsibility of religious organizations to protect vulnerable children. Further investigation is needed to verify the claims and assess the extent of the problem. The focus should be on promoting safer environments for children within all communities, including religious institutions.
