He made the corresponding statement in the documentary "Francesco" about himself, which premiered on October 21 at the Rome Film Festival.

“Homosexuals have the right to a family. They are children of God. We need laws on civil unions to protect their rights in this way, ”Francis said.

While still Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Francis supported the legal recognition of same-sex unions as an alternative to gay marriage, which is opposed by the Catholic Church.

However, since his election as Pope in 2013, until now, he has not made unambiguous public statements on this topic.

In September 2020, in an interview, Francis stated that the pleasure of good food and sex "comes directly from God." He expressed the opinion that the condemnation of any pleasure on the part of the church was a misunderstanding of Christian morality.
