Black churches conflicted on Obama's gay marriage decision – USATODAY.com

Here we Go........

The conflicted sentiments within African-American churches reflect a broader struggle in the American public. A USA TODAY poll showed that slightly more than half of Americans agreed with the president's decision. A scientifically valid breakdown of African Americans was not available, but past polls have shown blacks generally opposed to gay marriage.


Dwight McKissic, senior pastor at the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, said last week he would not speak on gay marriage Sunday because it was Mother's Day and his wife would lead the church.

However, he planned to focus directly on the topic in next week's sermon. "President Obama has betrayed the Bible and the black church with his endorsement of same-sex marriage," McKissic said.

Other than being against gay rights, what does Rmoney have to offer them?

I can't help but wonder why African-Americans aren't more sympathetic towards gays and their battle for equality.

The more people you have being sympathetic for gays, the less you have sympathetic for blacks.
It's all about the numbers and the political advantage.

are you suggesting blacks are against gays to make their lot in life better? Creating a common enemy???

My guess is that this is not very logical on their part being that gays are becoming more accepted, as such going against them actually works against them???
