GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) Joe Darby, a South Carolina pastor in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, pondered a sensitive question that he knew was on the mind of his congregation. Would black voters be able to reconcile their conservative religious doctrine with voting for a gay candidate for president?
"It's a heavy lift in the black church," says Darby, who is also a Charleston-area NAACP leader. "Just as nobody who is racist likes to say, 'I'm a racist,' nobody who is homophobic in the black community likes to say, 'I'm homophobic.'"
....
"I'm interested to see how Buttigieg is going to play," said Darby, saying that the mayor "does the best job of articulating his faith of any of the candidates" but is inherently running up against barriers with those to whom he's still an unknown. "The most damning comment was at a clergy breakfast, and when his name was brought up another guy said, 'Yeah, that's the guy who kissed his husband on TV.'"
....
Jon Black, an AME pastor along South Carolina's coast in Bluffton, said that he presumes the church will ultimately move past any divisions over homosexuality and same-sex marriage, as it did previously with divorce.
......
"If it gets down to two or three candidates and one happens to be gay, I don't think that would be a problem for black communities," Black said.

Notre Dame gave the Kenyon a PHd. That tells me alot.
Joe Darby goes off the track thinking there is such a word as “homophobic.” “Homophobic” and “homophobia” are made-up words invented by homosexual activists and their co-conspirators.
All words are made up words.
Uggh. Lgtb and p for pedophile is not cinemax
[Notre Dame gave the Kenyon a PhD. That tells me alot.]
Indeed.
Well, he’s definitely an activist....
Coming soon: "nobody who is against pedophiles in the black community likes to say, 'I'm pedophobic.'"
..Liberation Theology (baptized Marxism), in all its forms and colors, will always preach and support social justice above all else—the Bible is not even considered...
Set the individuals of your collective free Joe to vote for whoever they want.
Imagine if the Founding Fathers knew what the liberals did to the country and their jewel of the White House.
Founding Fathers now at 30,000 rpm.
Probably so
I stopped reading after his faith.
nailed it...
Yeah...having homeaux emperors worked so well for the Romans...free stuff or no, it just ain’t right.
There used to be a YouTube channel by (probably in jest) “Illuminati Pictures” - they exposed Black Liberation Theology - one of the tenets of James Cone was to “kill God” if God wasn’t on his side.
I can’t find the channel now. They probably got ran off of YouTube. This was back in 2008.
Maybe the old videos are still out there. I’ll have to see if I have some old links.
[I stopped reading after his faith.]
Good decision. The Democrats have rewritten everything to fit their liberal narratives.
It’s rather startling how easily they (liberal Christians) are led astray by Barack.
Genesis 3:1-2 King James Version
3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Might as well have Rerun doing the sermons at these churches. If he was still around, that is.

What the Kenyan Usurper really deserves is a one-way trip to a cell at GITMO and a military tribunal to face charges.

Well that’s because if you have an ounce of self-respect, you don’t use words invented for the purpose of political slander.
