Francisco has always condemned the rejection in families of homosexual children.
Pope Francis today asked parents to accompany and not condemn a child who has a different sexual orientation, during the general audience held in the Vatican’s Paul VI hall.

Francisco continued talking about parents who lose their children due to illness or traffic accidents, who see that their children do not go to school.
“So many problems of the parents, we think how to help them. To them I say: do not be afraid. There is so much pain, but think of the Lord and how Joseph solved the problems. Never condemn a child,” he added.
