Today, the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization, responded to the news that Pope Francis, in the documentary “Francesco,” for the first time as Pope publicly stated support for same-sex unions.
In the documentary, Pope Francis says, “What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.”
The HRC Foundation’s Religion and Faith program works to establish common ground with prominent houses of worship and faith traditions across the country. Ensuring equity and justice for all people, while giving all individuals the space and freedom to be fully themselves, is a message inherent in all major religions and faith traditions and is the cornerstone of the LGBTQ movement. If LGBTQ people and people of faith can speak together, our voices and impact will carry that message that much farther. HRC has worked with Catholic priest Father James Martin, and other Catholic leaders, on welcoming LGBTQ people into the Church.
Data released last year by PRRI show that solid majorities in all major religious groups support laws protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination.
