#1153 I Asked a “Gay Ex-Trad” About Sexual Ethics - Trent Horn

About this episode

Trent Horn and Cade Bradley discuss complex issues in modern sexual ethics, including morality, same-sex relationships, and transgender questions.

In this conversation, Trent Horn and Cade Bradley go head-to-head on some of the hardest questions in modern sexual ethics: whether morality is grounded in natural law or human flourishing, whether affirmation actually improves outcomes, and whether data alone can settle moral debates. They also clash over same-sex relationships, public norms, schools, DSM history, transgender questions, and the limits of harm-based reasoning.
