I know Joseph Lowery. I met him several years ago in Atlanta through a mutual friend who was a close confidante of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The fact that Lowery is against gay marriage is not surprising. He knows that many blacks do not like gays (black gays are partcularly hated in their communities), and that it was blacks - and Obama supporters - who voted for Proposition 8 in California.
Lowery and perhaps 99% of blacks oppose gay marriage. If the gays wish to take them on, by all means let them. It will only marginalize the gay lobby in this country and make their problems worse, not better.
BTW, I oppose gay marriage and I oppose civil unions. Both are weasel words for allowing a state to recognize what someone does in their own bedroom. If gays want to do that, fine. But they will find it harder and harder to get people to accept them when they take it out of the bedroom and into the faces of ordinary people. |

I don’t know any "ordinary" people, who are these people?
You’re not even for letting homosexual couples have civil unions??? Giving them basically POA, visitation rights, property rights etc... You really have it out for teh gays, don’t you James?
Here’s you on one of those "in your face" lesbians, Rachel Maddow,She is ugly, she is a man hater (that’s why she is a disgusting lesbian) ...

Shuster may be a tool, but Lowery doesn’t come out looking all that much better IMO. There is no earthly reason for a person who supports traditional marriage (i.e., doesn’t support the gay kind) to oppose Proposition 8. Lowery says he wants civil unions instead, with the same rights for gay couples as for married straights. Great. That’s California law now; they’re just called "domestic partnerships" instead. Prop 8 does not affect domestic partnerships (in fact, the Court of Appeal specifically ruled a few years back that the identically worded Prop 22 didn’t), so for anyone who isn’t a marriage equality purist, what’s the beef with Prop 22?
I have to revise my earlier comment slightly. When I said there was no earthly reason to support traditional marriage while opposing Proposition 8, that wasn’t quite right. In fact, I can think of two earthly reasons to hold those two mutually contradictory positions: (1) ignorance and (2) being a lying, pandering crapweasel. What I should have said is that there is no good reason to simultaneously support traditional marriage and oppose Proposition 8. |

Had it occurred to you that one reason for such a position is that government isn’t the place to deal with such questions? |

Of course that looneytarian view had occurred to me, but I didn’t mention it because it’s an argument against marriage per se, and not an argument for or against Proposition 8. Nor, for that matter, is it Lowery’s stated position, thereby begging the question of why you think it is relevant to this discussion at all. |

Or perhaps you’re one of those Col. Frank Fitts types. Gotta love libs. While insisting in one breath "There’s nothing wrong with being gay!" it’s the first insult they throw with the next breath.
ROFLMAO. |

I’m happy you got a kick out of that. But the insult, if you could call it that, isn’t that the character of Frank Fitts turns out to be gay, but its that the character is disgusted by gays but is in fact carrying homosexual tendencies. A bit complicated I know, but you’ll get it any minute now.
Cheers. |

Either way, Pogue, it boils down to "You’re a homophobe! What a fag!" But by all meas, keep putting lip gloss on the swine. It’s most entertaining.
I’m not surprised you can rationalize your way out of a contradiction, though. It’s the stock in trade of leftards.

You have a happy holiday. |
