On a related note:
About 20 yrs. ago Cardinal O'Connor was on one of the Sun morning shows reiterating the Catholic Church's view that homosexuality is considered sinful behaviour. He added that homosexuals deserve the same civil rights as anoyone else and even took a rather cheap shot at Pres. Reagan and Bush41 for not "doing enough" for AIDS researdch. For this statement he received death threats, Easter Sunday services at St. Pat were disrupted by condom- and feces-throwing gay radicals who also had the gay pride march re-routed so they could do what queers do best in front of the Cathedral. In the same time frame this was going on Calypso Louie spoke at the Chicago Civic Center in front of 20K people, including Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, Coretta King, Hosea Williams and anyone who is/was someone in the civil rights movement. He had them on their feet cheering wildly when he stated that homosexuality is a bigger threat to the Black community than drugs or racism. His second-in -command, Khaleed Mohammad, while speaking in fromt of 5K people at Queens College, got a standing O whne he stated "any Black man who wears a dress does not deserve to exist on the face of the earth". No outrage over these incidents. Nah, no double standard here, just a, ahem, Pigment of your imagination.
