Yea, you know, because of course he’s not ready to lead a city with that opinion! /s

I hope he sticks to his guns.

This is remarkable. Imagine stating something that is so obvious and normal, and then get ripped because of said statement.

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

No, Gretchen, I think this proves that Kevin Johnson IS ready to lead your city.

By the way, Gretchen, your position as vice prez of the local board of indoctrination and as a gay/lesbian rights advocate speaks volumes to me why Californica is the last place I want to be. Unless your citizens elect a few more leaders of substance who have moral standards and no need to pander to the pervert vote.

Sacramento mayoral candidate Kevin Johnson upset local gay and lesbian leaders after saying he believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
The former NBA star made the statement in response to a question during a candidate debate this week.
Gretchen Bender, vice president of the Sacramento County Board of Education, says Johnson’s statement shows that he is not ready to lead the city.

Really? He made an honest and HISTORICALLY accurate statement, one that a vast majority of American citizens agree with and that makes him not ready to lead a city?
What I think his statement shows is he is not a victim of the foolish and dangerous political correctness that is doing so much harm to America. But then thats just me........

Sorta sad when they gay community doesn’t get it. He supports civil unions and benefits but because his religion does not support an actual marriage between same sex partners he should be penalized? I guess equality, which would include freedom of religion, doesn’t register to the gays. Well it does, but only in a “gay way”

My brothers gay and lives in the sacramanto valley and he’s voting for this guy. I wonder if that means he’s really not gay. I gotta go check.

Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

This whole campaign to unseat a militant, leftist, GovernMental EnvironMental woman as Mayor has been a concealed smear campaign by other lesser candidates and orgs, trying to bloody this black man worse than Clarence Thomas by trying to make him look like a jail-bait baby raper!!!

I don't know this Phoenix celebrity basketball star and I generally don't think much of celebrities taking short-cuts into public policy through politics, but the attack on this person has been "over the top" in intensity!!!

Believing that marriage is between a man and woman makes you unqualified to lead? Baffling. Kevin Johnson certainly demonstrated leadership on the basketball court. How that translates to other fields I'm not sure.

Abolutely nothing hateful, bigoted, or homophobic in those comments. Supports civil unions, benefits.

Is there something about being a homosexual that predisposes one against any sort of compromise?

The Cavs traded KJ for Larry Nance. That trade helped both teams. Cav's had Mark Price, a small guard, solidly starting and Kevin was the same type of player. Cav's needed a power forward and Larry was great.

I wish KJ good luck in the tougher league--politics.
