Pope Francis - A LGBTQ ally or not really.

[brnbk]

Was the late pope Francis a friend of the gays or not really. What will his legacy be with regard to gay rights? Will the "blessing" by a priest of a gay couple allowed by the Declaration: Fiducia Supplicans under his reign be his lasting legacy as the document that ushered in ecclesiastical and liturgical acknowledgement and eventual acceptance of homosexuality, Or will he be remembered for his anti gay policies: such as referring to transexual rights as a nuclear bomb that threatens society and opposing the acceptance of gay priests to the Seminary?

"Rome was not built in a day" & Pope Francis broke a thousand years of ecclesiastical dogma to even recognise gays let alone their "UNIONS".

   Without being transphobic & becoming a "marked" man, the issue of trans rights in particular M2F, looked at realistically, 00has been like a world-wide nuclear explosion over the last decade. Particularly since Trump & his fascist thinkinking invaded World politics, not just right wing proponents have run with trans rights as a source of societies moral turpitude. 

  We can only hope that recognition of gay marriage does not take another thousand years & that further & comprehensive examination of trans rights follows.
