"Catholic comedian Jim Gaffigan brings kids to Gay Pride parade"
lifesitenews.com
"Faithful Catholics who love laughing at Jim Gaffigan will be disappointed to learn that the comedian, whose bag of jokes is often influenced by his Catholicism, allowed his kids to watch New York’s Gay Pride Parade over the weekend and tweeted out a picture of them waving rainbow flags.
'I’m so proud of my gay kids. Happy #pride2017 #pridenyc,' he tweeted on Sunday.
Even Gaffigan's wife Jeannie used social media to showcase her family watching the homosexual parade go by. 'Mom? Is everyone in New York City gay?' her kids asked her.
'They were at the sprinkler park in their bathing suits and the parade just marched by and handed out rainbow flags,' she posted on Instagram.
Gaffigan, a graduate of Jesuit-run Georgetown University, is often trotted out by the Catholic world as a comedian who 'brings Catholicism to the masses' through his gift of humor. Best known for his family-friendly routines on bacon, McDonald’s fries, and bowling, Gaffigan will also get laughs for his jokes about being a Catholic parent with five kids. Gaffigan, who is 51, has often been praised by Catholics for his frank adherence to Catholic teaching against contraception.
The comedian has received accolades from Catholic News Agency, Aleteia, and National Catholic Register. When Pope Francis visited the U.S. in 2015, Gaffigan was honored as being the lone comedian in a warmup act prior to the Pope’s appearance at the Festival of Families.
In a 2012 episode of the TV show Portlandia, Gaffigan plays 'Donald' who kisses his gay business partner 'Stu' of 'Stue’s Stews' on the lips after the pair successfully sells their first bowl of hot food from a food cart. The front of the food cart consists of a giant image of two naked men in a hot tub filled with stew. In the image, Gaffigan is wearing a hat with the word 'Oregon' in rainbow letters.
Then in 2015, Gaffigan and his wife Jeannie produced The Jim Gaffigan Show which highlights an active gay character, played by Michael Ian Black, whose attraction to and sexual involvement with other men is portrayed as normal and healthy. In the show, the gay character is constantly hitting on other men, often asking them out to lunch as he jokes about condoms and oral sex.
'I knew exactly what he [Black] would bring [into the show], and he did every time,' said Jim Gaffigan in a behind-the-scenes explanation on YouTube about the humor behind the gay character.
Gaffigan was praised not only by liberal Catholic media but even by homosexual media for his ‘inclusivity’ in the show.
'The viewer gets the impression the TV Gaffigans are too busy living out their faith to have a lot of judgmental opinions about other people’s behavior. No wonder the real-life Gaffigans were invited to Pope Francis’ United States visit this September,' wrote the U.S. Catholic in a 2015 piece about the show...
Jim Gaffigan’s wife Jeannie explained in a 2016 interview with National Catholic Register that she thinks that both she and Jim can be good Catholics — on screen and off — without having to judge the actions of people."
