If it's pathetic for me to find he racial comparison a bit weak, the objections by the other side to being considered similar to other deviant actual sexual urges is delusional.

Trissie babe also conveniently overlooks the fact that none other than Martin Luther King, the Reverend King, opposed homosexual marriage, and his daughter Bernice King actively campaigns against it and in defence of traditional marriage

"Bernice says herself that she knows deep within that her father did not march and did not take a bullet for same-sex marriage," said Alveda King. "I don't believe that people should be penalized for their affections, but we need to be clear on the purpose of sexuality and marriage, that purpose being procreation."

Even some civil rights leaders, such as Jesse Jackson, have tried to put distance between the black and gay struggles. And black ministers, among them the Rev. Bernice King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter, have led protests to fight efforts to legalize same-sex marriage.

Some African-Americans also argue that gays and lesbians were never slaves or victims of a system designed to keep them in their place, and that while homosexuals have the option of keeping their sex lives private, few blacks can hide their race.
