Seven Quotes That Make Pope Francis Complicated for Diverse People
Francis' tenure as pope has also been notable by the queer woman , gay, bisexual, gender nonconforming and queer (LGBTQ+) community for his adoption of a more conciliatory tone toward LGBTQ+ people than that of his predecessors. "But anyone who utters Christian words without putting them into practice hurts oneself and others," said Pope Francis in 2013.
So where does Pope Francis rise on LGBTQ+ people?
ON INCLUSION
[07/2013]
"If they accept the Lord and contain goodwill, who am I to determine them?"
Let's start off with one of the most pivotal moments in Francis' papacy for Diverse people. When asked about gay priests during a spontaneous exchange with the press, he responded, "If they [gay priests] accept the Lord and possess goodwill, who am I to assess them? They shouldn't be marginalized. The tendency [same-sex attraction] is not the problem... they're our brothers."1
The fact that Pope Francis made such a comment – and used the word "gay" in English – was radical, and helped propel significant conversations in parishes and dioceses on LGBTQ+ equality to this day. But more importantly, his comment set the tone and a

Life before the lifting of the LGBT military ban
It was such a shock, and I didn’t know what to do for the leading.
If I was discharged, I would be such a disappointment to my father. I thought I had fooled everyone into thinking I was a ‘normal’ heterosexual soldier.
But in truth, I had led a double life.
It felt sordid and wrong and yet it was the only way I could be myself – sneaking out of the barracks to meet women – and keep the career I’d dreamed of since primary school.
I was ashamed. And now it had been made very clear to me that I either continued to live a lie or be myself but drop everything.
In order to abandon the Army of your own accord, you must give one year’s observe, so that’s what I did.
I can keep in mind walking into the Head Clerk’s office and requesting Premature Voluntary Release.
I felt there was nothing voluntary about it.
The cruel irony was the announcement that the military’s LGBT ban was to be lifted on 12 January 2000 – just after my Army career ended.

Information and support for the LGBTQIA+ Armed Forces community
If you were discharged from the Armed Forces or received a conviction under a specified legislation which has now been decriminalised, you may be eligible to reclaim your medals.
In 2000, the ban on members of the LGBTQIA+ community serving in HM Armed Forces was lifted. Prior to this, personnel who were found or admitted to being in violation of the Army Act 1955, the Air Force Operate 1955, or the Naval Discipline Act 1957, were required to leave service.
In the course of discharge, some personnel forfeited medals for which they were eligible.
In 2021, the Ministry of Defence introduced a new policy which allows former Armed Forces personnel who were dismissed from service because of their sexual orientation or gender identity to apply to have their medals restored.
Anyone who believes that these conditions apply to them is entitled to contain their case considered under this policy.
Learn more about the policy on the GOV.UK website.
Eligibility
The Medals Office will review service records where available to affirm that applicants meet the criteria for restoration.
