Fr. James Martin joins the Ali Forney Center’s founder Carl Siciliano to discuss promoting acceptance of LGBTQ+ people in the Catholic Church, and the dangers LGBTQ+ youths face in rejecting religious environments.

Fr. Martin has faced a barrage of insults and even death threats for his tireless efforts to heal homophobia in the Catholic Church, but his work has been endorsed by a growing number of Bishops and even blessed by Pope Francis.

Fr. Martin can be followed on Facebook and Twitter where he frequently posts about LGBTQ+ issues. He also frequently writes about them in America Magazine.

Building a Bridge is the book he has written which calls for the Catholic Church to treat the LGBTQ+ community with dignity and respect.
