Did Pope Francis Actually Support Gay Marriage?

Pope Francis

Pope Francis' statement about gay marriage had left a lot of people, even some priests, wonder what the Pope actually meant by this statement he made as he was on his return flight from Rio de Janeiro to Rome. He said, #"If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" #"They shouldn't be marginalized." #"The tendency [to homosexuality] is not a problem...they're our brothers." 
On the issue of reported allegations of homosexuality within the Vatican by journalists, he said, #"when someone sins and confesses, God both forgives and forgets. We don't have the right to not forget."
According to Yahoo.com, The Pope’s words were warmly received by gay activists in Italy and elsewhere. “From now on, when I hear a bishop or a priest say something against me, I’m going to say, ‘Who are you to judge,’” says Franco Grillini, president of Gaynet Italia, the association of gay journalists in Italy. Hmm!.....God help us.
