That little anecdote is indicative of a much bigger trend happening in American Christianity. The First United Methodist Church is out, Elevation is in. There are very few new Southern Baptist Church buildings springing up across the United States, but there are at a ton of Journey/Lift/Resolution churches being planted every week across the country.

At a nearby retail park shoppers at M&S Food have to walk by a noticeboard which announces, "We'll double your donation to celebrate Pride", the reference being to an LGBT charity. The presumption behind this notice is that the customers at M&S will of course wish to celebrate Pride. This presumption, however, is totally dismissive of those who adhere to a Christian worldview.

It's normal unless you're dealing with someone who identifies as transgender. If man or woman claims to have, or is diagnosed with, gender dysphoria, they are encouraged to bring their body into conformity with how they feel and what they think, even if those thoughts and feelings do not correspond with reality. Men who feel like they should have been born a woman aren't counseled to live like a man.

The 'born gay, always gay' myth is dead. This has been well known to social scientists for years, but for the Guardian to be taking note, and covering the results honestly is a significant moment. And it has enormous implications for the proposed 'conversion therapy' ban.

What causes sexual fluidity?

If sexuality changes, what causes it? No one really believes that things 'just happen'. We believe in cause and effect. If something has changed, we want to know why.
