A Look at the Black Pastors against President Obama

Why some Black Pastors & Leaders are on the Wrong Side of Equality

After President Obama made his gay marriage announcement, it seemed that everyone looked to the black churches for their reaction. As some pastors shrugged it off and went about their business, several pastors and church leaders fell into the classic stereotypical trap.

 According to CNN, Obama's gay marriage support was the topic of many sermons in black churches across the country. Many of them have stated they love the president but they can't support gays or gay marriage. Then some like Rev. Dr. Emmett Burns claim they are going to stay home and not vote all. In fact, he is encouraging his church to not vote for Obama because of his stance on gay marriage. While they think they are taking a stand in the name of the Lord, they are actually take the same position as the slave masters did over 400 hundred years ago.

They used the Bible to keep slavery going and even convinced slaves that being owned was God's plan. These church leaders really need to think about this attitude they have grown so comfortable having.

I feel like they have no idea about what's in the Bible or what Jesus was truly about. Their statements and brashness show nothing of peace or love. It presents nothing but discrimination and hate. Perhaps these pastors should read James 2:1 where it talks about discrimination or Proverbs 10:12 which states how hatred stirs up nothing but strife.
But this is not just from the pastors; this is also coming from many black people. Some of them are using statements like, "My faith doesn't agree with gay marriage," or "My faith thinks it's wrong." Then, when you confront them on it, they just simply say it's in the Bible; like that's some legal law.
Well, if they're going to quote the Bible, I would love for them to visit Deuteronomy for a while and tell me if they would still follow the Bible word for word. Because if they do, they also support being put to death for having dreams that are not Godly, stoning their smart-mouth kids or being damned for having one testicle.
Yes, this is their faith, from the good ole Bible.

Black pastors and leaders, you cannot continue to be on the wrong side of history about this, and you cannot mislead our people down a discriminatory path. The freedom to marry is not a threat to marriage or your faith. If that was the case, then you should question the validity of your faith.

While you all are holding on to these archaic views, black Americans are evolving. Within the past couple of years, black Americans have changed their views on gay marriage. ABC News/Washington Post poll shows 54 percent of African-Americans support President Obama's marriage equality stance.

We are also seeing several black leaders and celebrities come out in support for marriage equality as well. So what is your hold-up? Your faith? If you are a true believer, you know that Jesus wouldn't allow anyone to discriminate and exclude a group of people in his name.

So please, get it together and evolve from these outdated mythologies you've trapped yourself into.

Question of the Day: Obama Edition

I might be opening a barrel of worms, but I want to know... Are you completely done with Obama? If so, why?

Shocker! GetEQUAL protest against Obama

Lord...

From The Advocate

A group of LGBT equality activists working to end “don’t ask, don’t tell” launched an elaborate protest early Monday evening as President Barack Obama attended a private Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fund-raiser in Miami at the home of NBA star Alonzo Mourning.

As the president headed toward Mourning’s Coconut Grove residence, where donors had paid as much as $5,000 and $18,000 per person to see him, members of GetEqual, a national LGBT rights organization, along with local activists lined the street holding four 10-foot signs that read “End the Discharges Now” and “We’ll Give When We GetEQUAL” – a reference to the group’s recent campaign encouraging people not to donate money to either the Democratic or Republican parties or their campaign committees until the president signs an executive order immediately stopping the discharges.

The group tipped off reporters and photographers from the Associated Press and the local NBC affiliate, who were stationed at the entrance of Mourning’s residence at the exclusive Coral Gables Estates on Alveda Parkway.

Since Mourning's mansion abuts the bay, GetEqual also launched three boats containing activists equipped with signs and bullhorns, which they used to shout chants during president's speech. Additionally, they released into the air four "cloud buster" balloons with 10-foot-long banners reading "GetEQUAL.org" that had been tethered to the sides of the boats. 

Wonderful, with Carl Paladino going on TV saying all types of stuff against us. When Rubin Diaz Sr. continues to win elections, when other GOP leaders deny anti-bullying laws, NOM and other groups are funding anti-gay candidates and a GOP team filibustering any attempt for gay rights. They keep going after the president....

In the words of Evil Willow: 

GOProud, Shut It Up!

Gay Teabaggers will Protest Obama/HRC Dinner

I knew this would happen just by the tone of the articles and tweets I was reading.

Activist, Andy Thayer is going to let Obama know he is pissed off! Look out! He sent out a press release.

Pro-LGBT Picket of Obama This Saturday Moved from White House to HRC Gala

In reaction to the announcement yesterday that President Obama will address a black tie fundraising gala of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on Saturday, October 10th, organizers of a pro-LGBT picket originally scheduled for that night at the White House have instead moved the picket to the site of the HRC gala.

The picket will begin at 6 PM in front of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, on the northeast corner of Mt Vernon Place NW and 9th Street NW, Washington, DC. While the picket organizers will be participating in the Sunday, Oct. 11th Equality March, they charge that the march organizers have been going easy on the Obama administration and the Democratic Party in general.

Barack Obama was long on pro-gay promises during the campaign, they say, yet short on delivering on them once he took power in late January. “The time for talking is over,” said Andy Thayer of the Chicago-based Gay Liberation Network (www.GayLiberation.net), one of the two organizations sponsoring the picket. “This President promised to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), he promised to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, he promised to pass the pro-LGBT Employment Non-Discrimination Act and a whole host of other things.

Instead, he’s delivered on nothing while embracing anti-gay bigots Rick Warren and Donnie McClurkin. The last thing we need is more flowery rhetoric in front of rich, self-effacing gays and lesbians dressed up like penguins.” The picket is cosponsored by the Dallas-based direct action group, Queer Liberaction (queerliberaction.moonfruit.com), a group which played a leading role in organizing an effective community response to the violent police raid on a Fort Worth bar.

”The Obama administration has likened LGBT relationships to incest and bestiality,” said Queer Liberaction co-founder Blake Wilkenson. “He cited his ‘Christian beliefs’ for the reason why he now opposes equal marriage rights for same-sex couples. He refuses issue a stop-loss order to prevent purges of lesbian and gay soldiers. If we are going to get real change out of this White House, we need to make demands of this President. As the great anti-slavery activist Frederick Douglass put it, ‘Power concedes nothing without a demand.’”

For more information about the Saturday, October 10th pro-LGBT picket of President Obama, contact the Gay Liberation Network at LGBTliberation@aol.com or 773.209.1187, or Queer Liberaction at LGBTliberaction@gmail.com or 214.679.6321

Great Andy, you tell that nasty Obama all about the promises he HASN'T broken yet and how working on policy change is NOT WORKING fast enough.

Joe's Admonished!

Yep, it happened. Joe Wilson was admonished today by the House.

The 240-179 vote on the resolution of disapproval reflected the sharp partisan divide over the issue. Democrats insisted that the South Carolina Republican take responsibility for what they said was a serious breach of decorum.

Republicans characterized the vote as a political stunt. Wilson himself would not back down on his position that he owed the House no apology. Surrounded by Republican supporters, Wilson said Obama had "graciously accepted my apology and the issue is over."

He should've apologized, oh well.

My personal Letter to Pastor Steven L. Anderson

I wanted to be civil, but firm in my letter. I am posting this on his blog. He needs to know that his actions are vile and alarming.
***************************************************************************
Steven

I wanted you to know how appalling it is to hear so much hate in your sermons. I am trying to figure how you call yourself a man of God, while spitting out such vile mess about gays and President Obama.

Have no shame, Steven? Where do you think this is acceptable under God's word? As a pastor, you are suppose to be preaching on God's love, peace and unity, however it seems you have taken a myopic stance. You are a vessel of God, your sermons should not be about your personal agenda. The minute it becomes all about you, you have lost the point.

How do you think God will judge you? God would NOT condone your behavior at all! It is sick, divisive and far from what Jesus died for. You invoke violence, discord and hate, Steven! Do you realize that? Your children will be affected by this behavior and it will haunt them for most of their lives.

To stand there and preach this madness to your followers is clearly a disservice to them and your faith. What you are doing is the exact opposite of what Jesus would do. You have lost your way and you need to stifle yourself.

Steven, your actions are unacceptable and unjust. Think of your family, think of God, because if you continue, you will be 2 steps closer to Hell, honey.

Nope, I'm Still Sleeping With Him.

Dan Savage asked the question: Was Obama an One-Night Stand?

My answer... No.

As most of y'all know, I support Obama. He has done more for us than any president and in time, we will get our share. I understand the truth about politics and I knew it wouldn't be a smooth ride. Our equality will be an uphill battle. I never believed gay equality was coming within a year, but I know it's coming.

However, Dan is still feeling betrayed, lost, lied to and fooled by Obama.

Please check out Dan's article, here. I think he's still bitter and ranting about nothing new, but I would love to hear your thoughts about this.

Interesting Quote: Richard Socarides, a Clinton adviser.

"Unless the president on Monday articulates a strong action plan, and is willing to do it with cameras rolling, it is going to go from bad to worse."

His statement about Obama's stance on Gay Rights.

I doubt it, Sweetie.

Dumb Article of the Day: Queerty's: THAT'S IT: Obama Has Spat and Shit In the Faces of Gay America

Lord, here we go.

Clueless. (Actually, that's what I was thinking about this article)

 

That's the only explanation for why President Obama not only actively promotes the Defense of Marriage Act, but defends its implementation at all costs. With utter stupidity, and amidst calls from groups like the ACLU and HRC to immediately reverse course, the Obama administration claimed it's only sticking to standard operating procedure. He should be ashamed.

The White House today responded to criticism: "As it generally does with existing statutes, the Justice Department is defending the law on the books in court. The President has said he wants to see a legislative repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act because it prevents LGBT couples from being granted equal rights and benefits. However, until Congress passes legislation repealing the law, the administration will continue to defend the statute when it is challenged in the justice system."

Except it's really this simple: How can Obama tell us he's for the repeal of DOMA, but then have his charges defend that same policy?

If he really wants a legislative repeal of the law, why is he wasting government resources — literally, the tax dollars of gay and straight Americans — continuing to lobby the courts to follow DOMA? The president has not made a single tangible action to have DOMA repealed. The Democratic-controlled Congress, which Obama says is responsible for DOMA's deletion, is doing nothing on the matter.

Before President Bill Clinton signed DOMA into law and while Congress listened to testimony from opponents and supporters, the Clinton White House released a statement defending the bill. It was a terrible, heart-wrenching kick in the teeth, and it should have ashamed Clinton.

President Obama just joined that list of unremarkable presidents lobbying for discrimination.

The only reason we can think of that Obama would have the Department of Justice lobby on behalf of DOMA in Smelt v. United States is to keep the law's fate out of the hands of the court system. That might be a worthwhile strategy. But the White House is not telling us about that plan, if it even exists. And if that's their ploy, they should share it with the public. And yet, if that scenario were really true, and Obama really was serious about repealing DOMA via Congress, wouldn't he be simultaneously lobbying Congress to, uh, do that? No wonder WhiteHouse.gov no longer even acknowledges Obama's supposed support for DOMA's repeal.

The man is a liar, and his actions are despicable. He's risked every ounce of credibility among gay Americans. The man who championed hope has given us every reason to lose it.

Queerty, Queerty, Queerty...This is ridic, for real. They have to follow the law until it's repeal, changed or thrown out. I'm sorry y'all, but seriously, this is politics and law! Are y'all that stupid? Yes, you are. And did you hear Obama say he's supporting DOMA. No!! What's wrong with you people? Goddess, I mean you would think this is Days of Future Past and we are hunted down, with mutant collars and the letter M branded on our eyes.

People, we need to be real and deal with reality. Obama has not abandon us or turn his back on us. It's completely silly to believe so, and while most folks continue to get drunk on the haterade, they refuse to look at what we really have going for us. To be honest, we are not really, really suffering. We need to put on the big boy panties and work with the system. This negativity is killing our spirits and in time we will be too bitter and ungrateful to see the changes.

And another thing...Why are these writers and some of us so...I don't know, demanding. Yes, I want these issues changed, but still, I know IT WILL TAKE TIME AND WORK. 

Queerty writers...Grow up. Think critically and come back with some sense.

Until I hear Obama say he's not changing DOMA and DADT, I still have hope. There's no need to be so silly, myopic and negative. It's foolish and a waste of time. Now...If you excuse me, I will put my pearls back on. Getting angry, makes me all tense.

Dumb Article of the Day: Queerty's "Barack Obama Had 5772 Words for the Middle East. None of Them About Gays"

I know I run out of things to talk about, but this is too much.

Queerty is a gay blog that usually showcase hot boys, jokes and gay stuff. But recently, they have had way too much Haterade and lost their God damned minds. They usually attack Obama with the worst articles ever written. Hell, you would think they were a part of NOM or Web Net Daily, with the mess they spit.

But today's article took the cake. It's called, Barack Obama Had 5772 Words for the Middle East. None of Them About Gays. For some reason, Queerty believed that Obama should have presented a full LGBT agenda to the Muslim world. Here's the article:

We've already placed out bet on whether Barack Obama will address gay rights during his July visit to Ghana, his first return to the continent since moving in to the White House. (Our guess: Hellz no.) But early this morning the president was a little farther north, in Cairo, Egypt, where he addressed the Muslim community in what some are calling a welcome olive branch to the Islamic community. (Others criticize him for, uh, forgetting about 9/11.) And while we won't pretend gay Americans are single-issue citizens, we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't point out that, once again, Obama had nothing to say about GLBTs.

As the tweets and Facebook blasts went out, and Obama mentioned the word "rights" more than a dozen times — the right for American Muslim girls to wear a hijab, the right for Palestinians and Israelis to live without fear and enjoy their own states, "the rights of minorities" — there were noticeable absences in Obama's speech.

Perhaps because they're assumed to be non-issues in the Middle East, but neither abortion nor rights for gays and transgender citizens were mentioned. This should be no surprise; while Sec. of State Hillary Clinton continues to call for an end to gay persecution, the White House is all but silent on the institutionalized assault on gays in Iraq, and elsewhere.

Obama urged the Muslim community to embrace democracy (and not only when it was convenient), to give permit Palestine to form its own true nation, and to treat women as equals.

But in a region of 400 million people, where gay rights aren't even an after-thought, Obama did nothing to provide a voice to the millions of GLBTs persecuted and living in hiding and shame. Yes, Obama tailored his message for the community he was speaking to. But he missed an enormous opportunity to include queer people in his call for global human rights.

And he did it on purpose.

Really? Really? Queerty, get it together. This is foolish. He is trying to truly bring peace in the Middle East and all Queerty can do is whine about him not mentioning gay rights. Obama is trying to shut down their beef with us. I'm not so sure that a speech on gay rights would help the matter at all.

But maybe I'm missing something here. If I am, just let me know.

Just how much Obama-Favored Haterade is Queerty Drinking?

Before I begin, I want to say that I enjoy reading Queerty. It’s entertaining, informative, it’s gay. But recently the folks over there are treating Obama like he gave them herpes or something.

Yesterday, they presented 2 articles on how Obama don’t really give a crap about us. One article focused on how late he was on the Hate Crimes bill and the other touches on his lack of support for the gay community.

Here's some examples

• He's said he's too busy with the economy to get around to marriage equality. He's let his secretary of defense tell the world that Don't Ask Don't Tell might get repealed, which is the same as saying it might not. For all his talk about health care, he's done nothing to let gay people share benefits with their same-sex partners. There are no protections in place to keep us from getting fired from our jobs for being gay, even though we're losing paychecks like every other American. Immigrants are being deported because they cannot legally marry their same-sex partners.

• Wow! Thank you, Mr. President! But, uh, aren't you weighing in on this a little bit late? Why has it taken you until the day before Congress will go to a vote to make a statement about the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act? And your support for it? And that you want Congress to pass it? Sure, Obama has had a busy first 100 days, but he's also got a giant team of gophers at his disposal, ready and willing to deliver statements — however meaningful — of support or disgust. And yet this is the first time since Obama was elected that he's made any (public) effort to get on Congress' back to get this bill passed. (We asked the White House's director of specialty media Shin Inouye to confirm this was the first time Obama specifically addressed the matter. Inouye tells Queerty "I'd have to check on specifics." We'll let you know what we hear.)

These articles are somewhat disingenuous and similar to how a jealous ex would sound towards the new bf. Seriously, the writer acts as if our issues outweigh every Gott-Damn-Thing that’s happening in our country!

Now, I would completely understand if the country was on track and nothing was going on. However, that’s not the case. We are hanging by our Lee press-on nails, hoping that we can avoid another economic fallout or the crazy ass North Korea’s test rockets. Then we have the war and looming doom that it creates. But somewhere down the line, somebody in Queerty has this Magneto-ish belief that we must come first.

He just got into the White House! He just got the ball rolling on the economy! Hell, what good are any of our liberties if our country is on life support! Until these major issues are in a safe zone, we will just have to wait. We have time, we ain’t going anywhere. It’s only been 4 frakking months! Just 4! Good things are happening to the gay community and our time is coming.

Maybe I'm too optimistic or way off, but I'm also realistic. There are deals and people to win over in order to pass bills and overturn stuff. There is a game to be played in politics and some things outweigh others. Is it fair? No, but at least we have someone who's playing in our best interest. I hope the writer(s) at Queerty understands that.

This is not the time to act like entitled arrogant kids. We need to give Obama more time before we draw up some busted analysis. After 4 years, if we have not made any progress then we need to develop a plan. I realize that folks are angry, but to blindly run amok with this Obama-don't- care really does nothing for anyone.
