Voice for Equality: Father Farrow

On October 5, 2008 Father Geoffrey Farrow shocked his congregation and the Catholic Church nationally when he spoke out against Proposition 8 during Sunday Mass. Father Farrow said to his congregation:

"If your son or daughter is gay/lesbian let them know that you love them unconditionally. Let them know that you are not ashamed or embarrassed by them. Guide them as you would your other children to finding true and abiding love. Let them know that marriage is a union of love and life and is possible for them too."

Immediately following his remarks, Father Farrow was suspended by the Archdiocese. That action was not unexpected but he risked it all anyway.
