Pope Francis Bats For Civil Unions Of LGBTQ+ Community

In the documentary, 'Francesco', which premiered on October 21, Pope Francis endorsed civil unions for LGBTQ+ community. He said, “What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered." The documentary's director Evgeny Afineevsky stated that the Pope made those statements directly to him for the film. Earlier, though the Church stated that they "respected homosexuals", they opposed the idea of their civil unions.
