Same-sex marriage an issue of equal, civil rights
Wendi C. Thomas: Same-sex marriage an issue of equal, civil rights » The Commercial Appeal
Good column by Memphis CA columnist Wendi Thomas on the reaction of African-American leaders and the black community to marriage equality for gays & lesbians.
New polls show that there is a growing acceptance of LGBT equality among African-Americans, including marriage, and evidence that President Obama's support may be helping African-Americans accept civil marriage rights for gays and lesbians.
And civil rights hero John Lewis made another strong statement of support of equality and equal rights for LGBT people today on MSNBC:
"My position is very, very simple. That I fought too long and too hard against discrimination based on race and color, not to stand up and fight against discrimination based on sexual orientation. If you’re going to provide civil rights and equality for everybody, you cannot draw a line, you cannot build a wall. We must respect the dignity and the worth of every human being whether they are gay or straight." ~ Congressman John Lewis - Freedom Rider and Civil Rights Activist.

Dan Savage vs. Right-Wing Hate Groups
Dan Savage a hypocrite? Not even close…
Yes, the right-wing nuts are in an uproar over comments Dan Savage made about the anti-gay crazy crap in the Bible and how the anti-gay right uses the Bible to justify discrimination, prejudice, and even violence, against gay people. He was 100% correct.
And to those calling for Obama to speak out against Savage who has no connection to the Obama campaign, I ask when will Romney distance himself from the right-wing hate and violence spewed by Ted Nugent, whose endorsement is touted by the Romney campaign?
Of how about this Romney supporter:
Lou Engle Calls for Religious Right to Channel Confederate Generals to "Restrain" the "Homosexual Agenda"
Or what about these right-wing anti-gay and racist hate groups:
Council of Conservative Citizens (FKA Council of White Citizens)
Traditional Values Coalition
