I agree. Religion definitely plays a huge role in this. Those quotes from those first reverends are disgusting and ignorant as hell.

“Just because I don’t want a gay man to teach my son in school, that is not discrimination,” said Rev. Richard Bennett ” WTF? is it then. This man is retarded for seriously believing that isn’t discrimination.

"African-Americans were the only ethnic group in both polls to say they did not approve of gay marriage, by a margin of 57 percent to 35 percent in the Quinnipiac survey and by 49 percent to 44 percent in the Siena study." Yet people want statistics.

I do believe that religion has more to do with black homophobia than anything else. Next Monday's post will reflect that…

It's a sad state when religion supports oppression.
