It Is Not Civil Rights

The homosexual rights movement has been working overtime in an effort to cover their demand for same-sex "marriage" with the mantle of the African-American civil rights movement. There's only one problem - African-Americans disagree. Poll data shows that African-Americans are firmly against same-sex "marriages" and there is growing evidence that they resent the civil rights movement being exploited by homosexual rights activists.

Senator John Kerry ran into a buzz saw in Mississippi at a town meeting yesterday when an African-American woman, Emma White, angrily confronted him for comparing homosexuality to race. Responding to Kerry's comments, White told Senator Kerry, "My point is homosexuality is an idea. You have never heard a doctor say, 'Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, you have a bouncing baby homosexual." I have been approached by some leading African-American pastors who are ready to go public with their own objections to the "hijacking" of the civil rights movement by so-called "gay activists." Even the Reverend Jesse Jackson has objected to the comparisons!

Columnist Jeff Jacoby hit the nail on the head with this comparison, "The civil rights movement for which (Martin Luther King) lived and died was grounded in a fundamental truth: All God's children are created equal. The same-sex marriage movement, by contrast, is grounded in the denial of a fundamental truth: The Creator who made us equal made us male and female. That duality has always and everywhere been the starting point for marriage."
