Gay activist and former U.S. Marine Corps sergeant, Marquell Smith has launched the Inclusive Community Project PAC to gather gay marriage support from people of color in Illinois.
Once he learned that 60% of African-Americans support marriage equality, he made it a mission to find them and bring them over to the good side.
Marquell said:
“My goal is to get into the community. My goal is to go out and find those 60% of African-Americans [and urge them] to go to their lawmakers. I believe that when you harness the power of the people, you can accomplish so much.”and...
Good luck, Marquell. Our community needs a leader like you.
“There were very few minorities. I was getting a feeling that there weren’t a lot of people standing up who looked like me. The whole idea behind this is to get citizens to really stand up and get people of color to get behind [same-sex] marriage.”
