		At his wake and funeral, Mychal Judge, 68, was mourned and celebrated by his two sisters, brother Franciscans, elderly nuns who were his grade school teachers, powerful friends, diverse parishioners, the homeless and others he served, and scores of fire fighters, some covered with dust from the catastrophe downtown.
		For Mychal (nee Emmet) Judge, an Irish American kid from Brooklyn, gayness was one of his many gifts, but it was the one that gave him his most personal experience of being an outsider, blessing him with the empathy that gave him such a tremendous ability to connect to and heal so many broken people.

		Father Judge was honored in Chicago because gayness, unlike race or gender, can be hidden or, if worse comes to worse and the truth comes out, banalized as "lifestyle" and peeled off a person's core humanity — which some still assert is resolutely heterosexual.
		A profile of Father Judge posted in the Chicago parade website does not mention that he was gay, or even that he ministered to lesbian and gay Catholics.
		Father Duffy gave the homily for Judge at a funeral mass in St. Francis of Assisi Church, on September 15, in the presence of New York's Cardinal Egan, former President Clinton and an estimated 2,800 mourners — again, with not a single word about Judge's gay identity or his ministry to lesbian and gay people.
