Edie Windsor praises Pope Francis words on gays: It thrills me DOMA plaintiff: I think of all the serious Catholic mothers who felt freed when he said that - free to love their kids. 06 JUNE 2014 | BY GREG HERNANDEZ Pope Francis thrilled DOMA plaintiff Edie Windsor when he said last year of gays: Who am I to judge? Those five words came a month after Windsor achieved a historic Supreme Court victory with the gutting of key provisions of DOMA. She believes they will make a world of difference. His bully pulpit has a great deal of meaning, Windsor said this week in an interview with HuffPost Live. I was in Provincetown, (Massachusetts), the day the papers said the quote of the Pope as saying, Who am I to judge? I went around peoples tables at the breakfast saying, Did you see this? Will you imagine this? Her reaction had everything to do with how much impact those five words would have on families with gay kids who were being rejected on religious grounds. Right now, it thrills me, Windsor said of the Popes words. I think of all the serious Catholic mothers who felt freed when he said that - free to love their kids.
