Gary Karwacki here in my office shared this with me, and I am sharing it with you. Let’s all give a nod to Rev. Al.
The Rev. Al Sharpton spoke at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Atlanta on Sunday and spoke out against the Mormon Church and evangelicals who fought to pass Proposition 8:
“It amazes me when I looked at California and saw churches that had nothing to say about police brutality, nothing to say when a young black boy was shot while he was wearing police handcuffs, nothing to say when the they overturned affirmative action, nothing to say when people were being delegated into poverty, yet they were organizing and mobilizing to stop consenting adults from choosing their life partners. There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not end brutality and poverty, but to break into people’s bedrooms and claim that God sent you.
“I am tired of seeing ministers who will preach homophobia by day, and then after they’re preaching, when the lights are off they go cruising for trade…We know you’re not preaching the Bible, because if you were preaching the Bible we would have heard from you. We would have heard from you when people were starving in California, when they deregulated the economy and crashed Wall Street you had nothing to say. When [alleged Ponzi schemer Bernie] Madoff made off with the money, you had nothing to say. When Bush took us to war chasing weapons of mass destruction that weren’t there you had nothing to say. … But all of a sudden when Proposition 8 came out you had so much to say, but since you stepped in the rain, we gonna step in the rain with you.”
AMEN!!! My pentocostal upbringing almost came out.
GO REV. BIG BROTHER SHARPTON AND ALL THOSE NAACP CRONIES….
The next thing him and his twin half brother Jesse Jackson will be out in California taking applications for memberships in there holiness of holy organizations the NAACP.
Got a have that money coming in to support them and there cause.
OH…. And God bless the Pigmy’s in Uganda.
I don’t agree whatsoever with this! Who in the world is the first one on site at any natural disaster? I would like to say the MORMONS. Also I’m sure you teach about ADAM and EVE not ADAM and STEVE. We just want to keep the traditional family alive.
Traditonal family is DEAD! Traditonal family means getting married ONCE and staying married to someone dies. Traditional family does not include divorces, step-parents, and step children. Traditonal family does not include getting married and then having partners on the side. So, how are heterosexuals keeping “traditional family” values alive?

Man & Woman or Man Vs Woman when one goes against what God has placed together let no man or woman to come between them.
Again – Traditional Marriage has been defined as that between a “man and woman”.
Another would be to have spell check – check some of your missed spelled words.
I wish they had ask me to donate to help pass Prop.8? I would have done so in a New York Minute.
The Holiest of Holiest – The PUREST one on the face of this world – The Rev. Al Sharpton with his half twin brother Jesse Jackson should be calling up “Tisha” and asking for her application to enter in a membership of the NAACP.
They need all the help they can get……

Well I’m glad that the only legitimate statement that you can make is my spelling error.
so, antagonizing homosexuals on a comment board for a gay newspaper furthers Christ’s message, how?
Tradition, traditional values. Can anyone tell me what tradition is, can anyone tell me what was before it became traditional? The first Christians built churches on Druidic and Pagan sites of worship, The mosque in Istanbul used to be a cathedral in Constantinople, as to what happened to the Pagan worshipers you can only guess, same for the Christians in Constantinople. Now in a hundred years from we’ll have another bunch of “weirdos” coming up with yet a new form of marriage and the same kind of idiots will come up in defense of traditional marriage, except that by then it will include gay marriage.
That is what tradition is.
You know the fundies are losing an argument when they cannot come up with anything more accurate to describe their hateful actions than “protecting traditional marriage.” That argument has so many holes, it makes Spongebob appear solid. It’s the beginning of the end for them because truth can only stay repressed for so long. Why do you think poll after poll clearly shows Americans moving in the direction of giving gays & lesbians equal marriage rights. One reason: arguments against equal rights DON’T MAKE SENSE!
NO on 8!
Against GAY MARRIAGE? DON’T GET ONE!
I’m sick & tired of the MAJORITY FORCING their ideological rights ONTO ME!
The, “Yes on 8” campaign used untrue fear tactics to win votes & the state of UTAH decided what was best for California.
Proposition 8 = Proposition H8!
