In a documentary on Bergoglio's life and ministry that premiered at the Rome Film Festival, the Pope - reports Catholic new agency - asked for the approval of the laws on civil union for same-sex couples. "Homosexuals - Cna reports - have the right to be part of the family. They are children of God and have the right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be unhappy for this", Bergoglio said in the docufilm "Francesco", directed by Evgeny Afineevsky. "What we need to create - the passage that will create great debate - is a civil union law. That way they are covered legally. I defended this."
