NOT TRUE. THOUGH HIS DAUGHTER DOES CAMPAIGN AGAINST EQUAL RIGHTS FOR GAYS (ON ALL ISSUES), MRS. KING HAS STATED MANY TIMES THAT HER HUSBAND WAS IN FAVOR OF GAYS HAVING EQUALITY IN ALL ARENAS OF SOCIETY.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE STATEMENTS LIKE THAT,YOU SHOULD GO TO ANOTHER BOARD WHEN PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE LYING AND DISTORTING FACTS .... AGAIN.
"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."
AND YET HIS WIFE STATES THE OPPOSITE. PERHAPS BERNICE - WHO WAS, WHAT?, 4? 5? WHEN HER FATHER WAS KILLED? - KNOWS MORE ABOUT MLK'S BELIEFS THAN HIS WIFE.
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.
SOUNDS LIKE THOSE BLACK PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLAVERY AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. RATHER THAN FIGHTING GAY MARRIAGE, THEY SHOULD BE TAKING AN ELEMENTARY AMERICAN HISTORY CLASS.
NOT BEING ALLOWED TO MARRY IS, BE DEFINITION, A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO KEEP GAYS "IN THEIR PLACE." | THESE FACTS HAVE BEEN POINTED OUT TO YOU MYRIAD TIMES IN THE PAST YEARS ... WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO POST THEM WHEN YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT TRUE? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.
Bigotry is a social disease.
Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
