Pope Francis is making headlines after becoming the first pope to endorse same-sex civil unions.

The news made Reverend James Martin extremely happy- a man who fought long and hard towards making the church a more welcoming place for LGBT people. Moreover, he explained how the pope’s decision was a step forward in the right direction.
In a recent post to The Washington Post, he explained how the thought of civil unions was always looked down upon. But today, things are a whole new ballgame altogether.
