Father Geoff Farrow: Why We Fight


"On Tuesday , February 16th, I had the distinct privilege of addressing thousands of volunteers who had gathered at our State’s capitol for Lobby Day. They were there to meet with members of our state’s legislature and ask them to vote YES on HR5 and SR7. ...
Last Tuesday, while volunteering at Equality California's "Lobby Day", I had the great privilege of hearing Fr. Geoff Farrow speak. Father Farrow presented the single clearest speech I have yet heard on the ramifications of marriage discrimination yet.

Fr. Farrow is also the subject of a blackballing entirely ignored by the mainstream press, the Roman Catholic Church's Archdiocese of Los Angeles effectively prevented him from being able to take a position at an interfaith charitable non-profit after the Archdiocese made threats against that that non-profit if it hired Farrow as their Executive Director."
