WATCH: Gay Catholic Dads Baptize Their Daughter
“It’s important for both of us that Rosie grow up in the Church,” says one of the dads.

In documentary filmmaker Eric Kruszewski’s second video on the LEAD Ministry, a LGBT group within the Saint Matthew Catholic Church in Baltimore, we follow a gay couple as they take their daughter to be baptized.
“The kind of support St. Matthews has given us has been tremendous,” says one of the dads. “Tremendous in the sense of a place where can go and honor our relationship with each other. When we were going through our difficulty with adoption, it was a place we could go to cry and center ourselves spiritually.”
