Those black homophobes

You won’t likely be reading this story in the NYTimes anytime soon. It goes too much against the leftist grain which lumps minorities in one virtuous basket despite their very real differences over social issues, sometimes with each other.

It’s an old story, actually, which I first encountered covering the AIDS epidemic in Texas back in the early 80s. Black gays with AIDS were persona non grata in the black community whose “leaders” denied there were any gay black men.

This new rift between the predominantly white and leftist Presbyterian church (very big on divestment from Israel, by the way) and this council of black pastors over recognition of gay marriage is merely the latest (though perhaps the greatest) example of how even minorities disagree.
