In the documentary, which premiered on Wednesday at the Rome Film Festival, the pope goes through the topics he is most passionate about, including the environment, inequality and discrimination, reports Reuters. - Homosexuals have the right to belong to a family. They are children of God, says Francis in the documentary and continues: - We need a law for partnership, in this way they have the law on their side. During his time as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Francis advocated same-sex partnerships as an alternative to same-sex marriage, but this is the first time he has considered the issue as pope. - This is a big step forward for the church's support for LGBTQ people, says the American Jesuit priest James Martin, who has long advocated the importance of a better relationship between the church and LGBTQ people.
