Google's Mobile-Friendly Test Driving Me Batty: What am I Doing Wrong?

Google's Mobile-Friendly Test Driving Me Batty: What am I Doing Wrong?
I’m trying to create a mobile friendly version of my main website, but Google is driving me batty with its mobile=friendly test.

Google approves of the home page but when I test other pages it says the content is wider than the screen. I use the viewport meta tag in my head. The image on the page Google approves is wider than the one it rejects. So I can’t see any obvious problem.

Please view the following page in a mobile device and tell me if it has content that is wider than your screen.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

I don't know about the video, but the banner is about 3 times the width of my screen.

This banner:

When you think "mobile", what is the width of the page that comes to mind?
- is it 1366 pixels, like the laptop?
- is it 1080 pixels that Full-HD people get with high end phones that can do without mobile friendliness?
- or... is it the more common 400 ~ 600 pixels that people have in their low-end phones:

Here's how that link looks on my LG L5 II:

You don't see the video up under the banner? The media player is under the video that has baby pictures and stuff.

Damn! That's the page Google said is mobile-friendly

I don't know about page width. I used the same viewport element on that page that I used on the poetry website which you guys said looks good. The viewport element is a meto tag that's supposed to automatically resize the page to fit your device. I need to figure out why it works on the poetry site but not on this site.

Also Vic,

How does the media player look to you? Can you play and pause it?
