NAACP backs gay marriage

By DONOVAN SLACK | 5/19/12 5:35 PM EDT

CAMP DAVID – The board of the NAACP, one of the nation’s oldest and largest African American advocacy organizations, has passed a resolution supporting gay marriage in the wake of President Obama’s public endorsement of same-sex unions.

“The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure the political, social and economic equality of all people,” board chair Roslyn M. Brock said in a statement following passage of the resolution on Saturday. “We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law.”

The chairman emeritus, Julian Bond, had already pledged his support earlier this week as part of a coalition of black leaders trying to tamp down speculation that Obama’s support of gay marriage would divide the black community.

The resolution and statement Saturday specifically noted that the group supports “civil marriage” for same sex couples, while respecting religious freedom -- something the president also mentioned when announcing his stance.

“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law,” NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in the statement. “The NAACP’s support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal protection of all people.”

The group has taken public stances against discrimination based on sexual orientation in the past. The NAACP opposed Proposition 8 in California, the federal Defense of Marriage Act, and more recently, Amendment 1 in North Carolina.

Here is the full resolution released Saturday:

Does anyone actually know how much federal funded dollars they receive, I thought there was an attitude on Capitol Hill to de fund groups that received money who get in the way of the political process. Like, if they get the cash, they shouldn’t use their money to promote policies.

Ah, this could be GOOD in a way. Obama has already lost some black pastors over his celebration of sodomy. Now this racist organization may lose some members.

Christian ones, anyway.

The black subculture is very macho, just like the hispanic subculture, add to that the religious blacks and you have a recipe for disaster for bambi.....:) I am really glad I kept that pro prop 8 flyer from 08, targeting black voters, that hailed Obama’s opposition to gay marriage.

No matter though, Obama will impose Marsha law to “canthel” the elections and he will just have a gay all time swishing back into the white (bath)house.

Am I wrong, or didn’t the NAACP stop being relevant to anyone but the liberal media years ago?

"Dennis Rodman has just announced he plans to be the first person to marry HIMSELF!"

He has also announced the plans to star in Quentin Tarantino's next film "Denise or Dennis", a remake of the Ed Wood film, "Glen or Glenda" (co-starring Bela Lugosi).

Rob Zombie will take the Lugosi role in the planned reboot.

What about the Holocaust against the preborn, especially in the black community?

“Race trumps all for the NAALCP.”

You would think so; I don’t know why they would even step into this issue. Actually, I know why; I just can’t believe they thought it was a good move.

It's "martial law". The correct spelling will lend credibility to your posts.

I’m sure this will play well on the South Side.

I was being facetious, you should have seen that given my entire post. I was playing on Obama’s gayness.

Sheesh, do I have to explain everything?
