You have without a doubt heard about the decision that has now legalized gay marriage. Father Jonathan Morris from the Sunday show “Fox & Friends” has and recently shared his thoughts on it:
“It is tragic from a social, legal perspective,” he said, as reported by Lift Bump. “Society changes with time, but it doesn’t change truth. It doesn’t change morality.”
Following that discussion he was out walking around in NYC when he stumbled upon the NYC Pride Parade. At the parade he ran into two guys who proceeded to spit on him:
Walking down Broadway and 22nd St just now, I ran into gay marriage parade. Two men walked by and spat on me. Oh well… I deserve worse.

This whole incident has created quite a buzz on Twitter and Facebook, but what’s so remarkable about the situation is how Father Jonathan handled the whole thing. Not only did he say he deserved worst, he also went on to say that they’re good men and meant no harm by it:
The two men who spat on me are probably very good man caught up in excitement and past resentment. Most in that parade would not do that.

This situation has sparked many comments from people everywhere, but this particular Tweet really hit home:
@fatherjonathan Very gracious of you to say. As a gay man, I'm sickened that they did that to you, I'm so sorry.

Father Jonathan handled this situation with the utmost compassion, grace and kindness. He is an example for all of us and this last Tweet sums it up perfectly:
The greatest evidence of authentic good will…is the way we treat people with whom we passionately disagree.
