The chance this will change a significant number of Black votes? ZERO!

President Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus are not in step with the majority of African-Americans who don’t equate gay rights with civil rights, former Rep. Artur Davis said in an interview.

they never have been, i would think.

Lets see here:

Civil Rights - The right to be treated equally in areas pertaining to race, gender, and other areas of life you have no choice in the matter. How many choose to be born of a specific race?

“Gay Rights” - Wanting additional “rights” that no other group has, based on for own CHOICE of lifestyle...

Hmmm...

“When you say to African-Americans, ‘the gay struggle is the black struggle,’ they don’t buy it,” David explained to The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas.

If I was black I would be highly insulted that someone made the comparison...

No gay person was ever put in chains or made a slave(at least not against their will), no gay person was denied an education, denied equal pay, had their children sold off as property, denied even basic human rights..

The only thing gays are not being recognized for is being normal...which they are not...

Blacks may not vote for Romney but they certainly might sit on their hands in protest..

Funny how Holder is trying to gin up their base by claiming voter suppression.... interesting timeline...

The big issue with “homosexual rights”, which is not talked about very much, is that the “gay” community was a hidden group. It’s as if “Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell” used to apply to our entire society. Gays only had problems if they insisted on being publicly and openly homosexual.

Gays today insist that “we’re here, we’re queer” and other more vulgar language heard at homosexual pride parades. They insist on getting in people’s faces. Then, if there is a backlash, according to liberal theology, the fault is not with the gays who insist on provoking mainstream society. The fault is that of mainstream society, for not being tolerant or liberal enough.

Heck some of these “gay pride” parades advertise themselves as family friendly nowadays! Bring the family, and bring the kids, they say! Enjoy the parade with the family!

Maybe I went on a tangent, but we’re well on the way to normalizing homosexuality in our culture.

Race is an immutable condition, sexual preference is not.
