Black People Politics : NAACP backs same sex marriage

[Mercyless1803]

Surprised ?

"The nation’s largest civil rights group, the NAACP, endorsed gay marriage on Saturday, giving a boost to the movement to legalize same-sex nuptials despite reservations expressed by some black ministers.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People passed the resolution at its board meeting in Miami “as a continuation of its historic commitment to equal protection under the law,” the organization said.
“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law"

while i myself not a critic to the rights of others means and stand for the rights of equality
this has pitted me in a split mental faze and to make a choice one side or the other ...
I'm not surprise of the support this get and whom will back it.So the way i swing
is not of great important , I just wonder is this good morals to humanity.

In the Spirit of Sankofa,




.......lol, It does surprise me to a degree Mercyless1803. But thanks for posting this information. Mr. Obama, I can understand his stance and reasoning, but not NAACP; oh well it hasn't been a Black Institution over 100 years anyway.


Peace In,

"Things grow in the direction of support". That's something I learned from a small garden I nurtured in my front yard. The larger american culture has embraced homosexuality at an institutional level.. Primary school curriculum has been altered.. New laws have been enacted.. State support has been granted at the highest levels of Government and also within the Media. There is the support.. now watch the growth.

Okay,....will Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, TD Jakes and many more high profile black leaders support the gays too? I already know Oprah, Gail, Tyra Banks, and many more will.
