Marriage Equality Reverend Under Fire

I am not sure that the vitriole is completely racist in nature. I do think that there is racism in the white gay community but obviously there is homophobia in the black community. I think that it is rage that is misdirected. I agree with a previous writer that said the problem is religion. Fundamentalism is rampant in poor communities both black and white. To me, that is the real monster. Fundamentalism has found fertile ground for its fairy tales and hatred in poor, under educated communites black and white. I am not sure what the answer is but I do think it does not involve "praying" for these assholes. Protest at their churches and in front of their leaders and pastors homes. Disrupt their church services and call out their idiotic belief system. It worked for us in the late 80's and early 90's. Enough with the turn the other cheek bullshit!!!!

Its facinating how some gay folks so easily fall back on misguided and racist memes just because some black people do things they don't like. This very article is about one gorup of black Americans standing against another group on LGBT issues. Yet people STILL come in here and talk like black people are of one mind on these issues (and as if there are no black LGBT folks). The NAACP have very publically supported LGBT rights as have people like Al Sharpton, Julian Bondm, John Lewis etc...yet ever time a story like this comes out some one starts talking nonsense about blacks having something against LGBT folks. I suppose the people that do this would have no problem with us saying that all white LGBT folks are racist.

I think we should respond to this in love, not racist vitriol. There are some misguided people out there, but let's not make it about black versus white. Maybe instead of spewing ignorance, we should work as hard for the rights of African-Americans (still one of the most persecuted groups of people in this country, lest we forget), women, the poor, and every other person in this country that is disenfranchised as we do for our own rights. Instead of spewing the same type of hate we were so willing to condemn after the Prop. 8 vote, we should remember that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." When we do that, when the gay movement has a large presence in all these other civil rights movements, we will get the support we mistakenly seem to feel we deserve.

Fuck the SCLC. They only want racial equality. They couldn't care less about anyone else, especially gays. So FUCK THEM! The gay community has to stop taking this shit and fight back the only way that counts, money. Not one more penny to their causes until they wake up and realize equality is for all, not just them.

Didn't Coretta Scott King support gay marriage? Didn't she say that Martin would have opposed all forms of discrimination? Once again the alleged followers are distorting the message. If you're against equality maybe you should speak for yourself and use your name and not use Martin Luther King's.

PJR, why don't you stop trolling on a gay website. Go back to your mom's basement and get on a Jerry Falwell and/or Pat Buchanan site. It's just like all your posts yesterday. The lesbians still don't want you, so GO AWAY! GET OVER IT!

I have a name for PJR, Bayard Rustin.

I guess that being murdered because you are black is somehow superior to being murdered because you are gay? Is that how black America sees things? Just asking? Kinda seems that way to me, based on the messages put out be black organizatins such as this.

PJR, your real name is Satan! You are the face of false Christianity. Jesus Christ called Gay people "eunuchs from birth" and exempted us from the requirement of heterosexual union. In the ancient world, the word "eunuch" had transgender connotations, and was not yet synonymous with castration. In God's eyes, LGBT folk are blessed: their souls, like His, are neither male nor female. How can commandments directed at people of binary gender be imposed on transgender human beings? We are free from the laws of Leviticus, but so is everyone else who believes in Jesus Christ (see St. Paul's letter to the Galatian churches). You, however, believe in hatred. Stop peddling your evil lies on Gay websites and move along! You belong in Hell; don't waste any more time getting there!

Very sad indeed. Joe Mustich, Justice of the Peace, Washington, Connecticut. As MLK said: "Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere."
