California Reverend Says it is ‘Critical’ to Discuss Sexual Identity and Gender with Children at a Young Age; Admits Parents Would ‘Be Upset’ if They Knew ‘Their Queer Kid was Coming to Me’ ... ‘I and the Older Queer Folks are Mentoring These Young Adults’

[Loomis, Calif. – Mar. 19, 2023] Project Veritas released a new video today exposing a Reverend from the Loomis Basin Congregational of the United Church of Christ [UCC], Casey Martinez-Tinnin, who admits he often discusses sexual identity and gender with young kids behind their parents’ backs.

Reverend Martinez-Tinnin said parents would not react positively if they knew their “queer” kids were approaching him.

“When they [parents] know that their queer kid is coming to me for support, they’re going to be upset,” he said.

“Parents don’t want me talking – encouraging this lifestyle, right? Like, that’s the thing.”

He continued to say parents should be given an opportunity to accept their child’s gender identity, or potentially face consequences.

“So, if we can start helping parents talk about, ‘How do you talk to your kids about puberty? Have you considered blockers?’”

The Reverend said, “I call CPS [Child Protective Services]” when parents misgender their kids.

Reverend Martinez-Tinnin said he believes it is important for older people to engage the young to establish relationships on the matter.

“In my mind, how communities thrive is through intergenerational relationships,” he said.

He explained how it has been possible to hide much of this information from parents, even going as far as saying that he is “not lying” to them -- “but it’s not fully telling the truth” to the parents either.
