Rev. Phillip Phaneuf of North Chili United Methodist Church in Rochester announced plans to transition to a woman and identify as asexual during a Sunday service.
Bonny Chu is a Digital Production Assistant at Fox News Digital.
"So I get to announce with joy that I’m transitioning," Phaneuf said. "I’m affirming to all of you that I am transgender. The best way to put this is that I’m not becoming a woman, I’m giving up pretending to be a man. This is a process, and it may be shocking for some as to what this all means."
Phaneuf added that the pastor’s sexuality is now asexual, an orientation in which a person experiences little or no sexual attraction to others.
