African American Pastors Take Stand Against Obama Over Gay Marriage
The Rev. Williams Owens came out against the President and his stand on gay marriage. He says,
I was a leader in (the civil rights) movement, and I didn't march one inch, one foot, one yard for a man to marry a man and a woman to marry a woman.
Owens says that the President has forgotten the message of the civil rights movement. He leads a group of African American pastors that are creating a campaign against Obama. He says that the effort is one to save the family.
What do you think? Is the President right on gay marriage or is this group of African American pastors right? Vote in our poll and let us know what you think.
