Don't know if anyone has followed-up on this post, but, here is a link reporting on the meeting:

"After Oaks spoke, there was a panel discussion led by Elder Kevin Hathaway and Sister Becky Craven.
They answered prepared questions and touched on subjects including pornography and heavy cellphone use by their children, as well as talk about gay and transgender people.
“I just wanted to add a few comments on gender and gender identification,” Hathaway said. “While we recognize what LGBT means, we do not use those labels when we talk about people. We don’t say, for example, that person is gay. We say that person struggles with same gender attraction.”
Hathaway continued, “Why is that even important? It’s important because whenever we place a label or allow a label to be placed upon us then we also — a lot of times by default — accept the lifestyle that comes with that.”"
