GLAAD’s President Herndon Graddick on Election of New Pope

"The National Catholic reporter said Pope Francis called adoption by gay and lesbian people a form of discrimination against children.

The real discrimination against children is the pedophilia that has run rampant in the Catholic Church with little more than collusion from the Vatican.” – Herndon Graddick, GLAAD President
