owolabifunke14: Mek una come see where ......... Afam dey quote bible. What has the Pope done to discourage gay marriage? If he's not against gay marriage,then his own sin would not be forgiven by any means. Gay is evil and the Pope must champion the fight against gay if truly he is sincere. I need a better husband and gays are taken them away from me
