When the debate over gay marriage reached a fever pitch on Beacon Hill in 2003, state Rep. Martin J. Walsh’s staunch Irish Catholic parents surprised him. Typically quiet on controversial subjects, they suggested where their firstborn son ought to come down on the issue.

“They thought maybe you should vote for gay marriage, and it never dawned on me until years later (why),” Walsh told me in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview for the inaugural edition of 
“Unfiltered,” my new radio podcast series premiering this week on Boston Herald Radio.

“We had a gay couple living on the top floor of our house when I was sick as a kid. … One of them came down one night — Paul, his name was — and he took a clip of my hair and he came back with a wig.

“It didn’t dawn on me 
until I was running for mayor, and I realized, wow, there was a gay couple living in my mother’s house and 
father’s house in ’74, when you wouldn’t hear of that.”

Walsh’s childhood battle with Burkitt’s lymphoma came with many touchstone moments like these, ones that influenced who he became and how he tries to run Boston as its first new mayor since 1993.

God is NOT neutral on the subject of depravity. He’ll mercilessly torture all unrepentant homosexuals, and all those who support them, for all eternity. What part of “abomination” (disgusting and abhorrent, in God’s eyes) can they not understand?

Its too late. The cats out the bag. Gays don not want to be left alone. They’ve jailed a Christian already.

when the muslims gain control they’ll throw the gays off the roofs

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

A really truly nice person should have all of their sinfulness legalized and supported.

FATHER John tge pedophile too for example.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It is nice to do nice things. Sweet story about the wig. That does not buy a person a free ticket to government rewards for their perverse sexual habits. Though, apparently in this case it did. That shows weakness and self-centeredness, to vote according to what you received rather than according to what is right in the eyes of God.
