I,too, have to wonder what would be the ulterior motive of having black people accept homosexuality.
BTW, the guy Isaiah Washington called a "fag" later confirmed that he was gay.
Here in Illlinois, after much campaigning and lobbying, the same sex marriage bill didn't even have enough support to get to a vote in the state senate. Much of the opposition was due to the influence of a highly-publicized collaboration between black ministers and Catholic priests.
The black preachers, of course, said the failure of the bill was an "act of god". The bill is scheduled to come up for another vote and backers think it will get through next time. If it does, I'm sure it will be referred to as a "victory for satan".
Gay people get on my nerves with all of their "drama". Their religious opponents irk me with all of their sanctimonious references to any obscure, ambiguous bible verse that suits their agendas. Political correctness is a refuge for people with guilty consciences.
I'm not so sure that neutralizing the stigma of homosexuality isn't also neudering people, leading them to an eventual lifestyle that is more about sexual diversity rather than sexual orientation. Will people gradually start to look upon themselves as just people who consider sexual partners as interchangeable alternates that provide different ways of achieving sensual pleasure? Is a trend toward bi-sexuality picking up momentum?? I don't put anything past the up-and-coming generation. (pun intended)
