Barack embraces gays
I’m not a fan of sweeping generalizations so I’ll just say the clubhouse for honest politicians must be very small.
Awhile back when I heard Barack Obama say he’d give us federal civil unions, with benefits equal to marriage, as soon as he was in the White House, I dismissed it as a “campaign promise”.
A week or so ago we saw news regarding the significance of “the gay vote”.
So it shouldn’t come as a complete surprise when we hear Barack say “We have scorned our gay brothers and sisters instead of embracing them”.
It would be easy to dismiss this as well, were it not for the venue. Barack was at the Ebenezer Baptist Church which is the church Martin Luther King Jr. called home. They were having a special service celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.
