France stands firm over nomination of gay Vatican envoy M'Lynn Musgrove

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32316603

France has nominated an openly gay man, Laurent Stefanini, as their ambassador. Usually, the vatican will respond within a 6 week time period to approve the chosen ambassador, but he has yet to say anything. Sources say that their has been a lot of arguments over this matter with the vatican.  Some people say that because he has taken so long to respond, it is a rejection. Stefanini is known as one of their best diplomats. Also, in France, same sex marriage was legalized despite the conflicts with the catholic church. 
I think that the vatican should put some of his beliefs aside and do what is best for the people. His sexuality should not be a problem especially if he is an amazing diplomat in the first place.

  1. I honestly dont see why this is still a huge topic in the world. Just because someone has a different sexuality does not mean they cant succeed at their job or occupation
