Reply #50: I wonder where Martin would be on this issue. . . [View All]

I have been disappointed in some black church leaders coming out against gay rights.

I'm thinking only religious people can have a voice in our society. Hard to say how much legitimacy Martin got because of his church affiliation. And one good thing I need to remember is that without the church organization, the civil rights movement would have been harder and taken longer. But dang....I wish so many religious leaders, including black religious leaders, they didn't hate homosexuals. How can they see it as different? (I've heard them say it is different because gays can hide their "beliefs" while black can't hide the color of their skin. As though that makes a difference.)
