I guarantee you, West is no homophile. He knows he has to be somewhat reserved in his comments, but in his heart, he also knows that queers are not normal. Like most Blacks he deeply resents being compared to sexual perverts when the deviants use civil rights history of Blacks as a method to defend sexual deviance.
Then why did he compare those who engage in homosexual acts instead of normal sexual relations like someone who likes vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate chip? Both morally neutral flavors!
I am very, very disturbed by his comments.
In his home district, he is a member of a church with ties to the North American Christian Convention/Stone-Campbell Movement and is very socially/theologically conservative. I can’t see him being pro-gay agenda.
