I love Fr Martin and his beautifully written & thoughtful columns. He gives me hope that our Church has/and continues to grow in love and acceptance. This ruse guy isn't fit to be listened to. We always taught our kids that God doesn't make junk & every person has dignity. Fr. Martin preaches this. Those of us with gay family members love our sibs, kids,cousins, wherever, unconditionally. Gay ppl don't destroy marriage, hypocrites who cheat on their spouses , have multiple affairs, disregard their own behavior as normal are bigger threats to marriage. It's a big tent, there is room for everyone. If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry a gay person, but don't deny two loving ppl who just want to be happy. You go, Fr. Martin, we love you and your kindness!
