I think most of us would agree that Tucker Carlspn's homophobia is repeleent.

But it's not just Trump Republicans who nurture, express, and try to spread these kinds of beliefs. This is also the official stance of the Catholic church and of that warm and fuzzy Pope that everyone so loves - Francis.

The Pope has said that children need heterosexual parents. And in his exgortation, Amoris Laetitia, he wrote ... There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s plan for marriage and family.

The church won't let married same-sex couples adopt children from their agencies, and they spent millions lobbying against marriage equality.

So why is it that we all recognize that Tucker Carlson is a poop-head, but we don't hold Pope Francis to the same standard? We shouldn't give him a pass because he's Christian - most Christian denominations (and bible scholars) do not believe what he believes.
