Bishop Harry Jackson's marriage rally

[sergalvisc]

Its been two years and I still like this guy! lol, its great! Really.

[chkjns]

Good Lord ! ! It would seem to me that since the bible says all sin is equal, it should be a REALLY REALLY big sin to single out the perceived sin of one single group of people. The beam in thine own eye, perhaps? Imagine if the manhours spent on this rally could have been devoted to helping the poor ! ! ! ! Jesus MUST be weeping still.

Look it up. Someone has been filling your head with poo.

[r3ni2007]

To all of those comments below: No matter what your viewpoint is, everyone has a right to their own opinion. So how about everyone stop antagonizing these people just because they chose to speak out about their beliefs.

r3ni2007 ,

Harry Jackson is a bigot who promotes the slavery of the Roman state religion for personal power and profit.

[lamexicana32]

AMEN!!! I so agree...

[Gulfporter]

A black man in a Roman collar... in so many ways.

[Gulfporter]

Hope Christian Church is a hate group, aligned with other hate groups. Call them and let them know how you feel.

[lamexicana32]

What PROOF do you have of these allegations!? You should do more reasearch in yourself and on the church (in person) before you spue out absurd comments!!

[sergalvisc]

This is a cool Video!! I like it! It's probably the better videos I've seen in a long time. We always see and here how "government" is helping or trying to fund gays in gov., or in giving them special rights in Life insurance, Adoption, Marriage, etc.. Bout time someone wakes up and sees homosexual life is not cool. It's very sad. It's a sickness, it's a problem, a serious mental and even psychological health issue. I just hope that we begin to treat gays as a sickness and find a cure.

[snowcone30]

I am sure that the Washington Blade, the gay news organization that covered and produced this video clip, disagrees with you.

Don't you understand? They didn't show this because the people in this video have any power. They are not showing the Bishop to carry his message to the world. They are showing it, and certainly the laughably absurd singing of "We Shall Overcome" at the end, to display just how out of touch they are.

Don't they have jobs?

1:10 Why should someone who thinks a nation is "female" be telling anyone who should get married?

[plutogirllovekj]

As a black woman, college student and Christian I just want to say, this is soo obviously the death knell of the anti-gay marriage movement. I think this is what it may have felt like in the 60's watching a long winded apparatus of discrimination and hate finally come tumbling down, only this apparatus has roots going back two millenia. I also want to say that black homophobia should not be a excuse for white gay racism. Both are wrong and against God! God loves all his creation!

[plutogirllovekj]

TYPO ALERT!! "an" not "a"!! Lo siento!!

[ru4g2day]

Yes, God loves His creation, but He's also set some stipulations on what is acceptable in His sight. Homosexuality is a life of bondage, not freedom. I have many personal friends who lived in that lifestyle who are now happily married to members of the opposite sex. The fact that I refuse to accept less than 3% of the population's desire to flaunt their deviant sexual behavior in my face does NOT mean I hate them.

[plutogirllovekj]

Who's flaunting it in your face. Did a gay couple have sex infront of you? Did they walk around naked fondling each other. You hyberbole speaks for itself. You are a homophobe and I really have no interest in homophobes! In the same Chapters of Genesis where God supposedly destroyed a city because of homosexuality, the man he supposedly saved whored his daughters out to a band of marauding freaks and his wife was turned into a pillar of salt for simply looking back at what was her only home.

[plutogirllovekj]

I am a believer in Christ and Christ was clear, on how he wanted us to approach our neighbors, but all of that is completely irrelevant when it comes to civil rights in a secular society such as ours. The 1st Amendment is clear on that. The 14th Amendment calls out for equal treatment of all Americans. You warped view of what it means to be a Christian not withstanding. I will be praying for this horrible burden of prejudice to be lifted from your heart. May God forgive you for you know not.

"God loves His creation"

Please get with the program.

In case you haven't noticed, we're out of the Bronze Age.

Get a 21st century education - it isn't that difficult.

[WellConditioned]

I shall go no further than you believing a skydaddy "poofed" everything into existence.

Get an education. You have no clue.

[SpeedyBruin]

Did he really suggest that gay marriage has caused god to bring about wars and economic troubles? Shame on that pastor for using his position to stir up hatred.

[StatUnitense]

If these zealots love living under "the" book of their lord (whatever that is), I'm pitchin' in to buy them a one-way ticket to Iran or perhaps Saudi Arabia. They have state-sponsored and -mandated religion there.

Who's with me, people???? C'mon!

[WellConditioned]

I like the "Don't Change Marriage" sign held by a black woman in the opening. I'm sure she'd be a supporter of "traditional" marriage here in the US, when it was illegal for blacks to marry.

I agree with these illiterate, uneducated god freaks, let's go back to "traditional" marriage and deny marriage licenses to all blacks.

[StatUnitense]

Great point. I'm sure this religious fanatics would just loooooove returning to T/R/A/D/I/T/I/O/N/A/L marriage when they themselves could not marry because of who they are.

This proves how religion clouds reasoning. It's maybe just me but I kinda think we got a little thingie in our nation's constitution called "separation of church and state." Yeah, that's it. We're a democracy, not a theocracy.

[WellConditioned]

Absolutely! You're a great citizen, SU!

Finally a great mind in the war against religious ignorance!

[JoeMyGod]

Also in attendance and leading anti-gay chants: four times married and convicted crack addict Councilman Mayor Barry, who is currently having his city wages garnished $1700/wk for tax evasion.

[StatUnitense]

Indeed. What a shining example of what's moral or what's right. Barry knows the meaning of neither.

Also, isn't crackhead Marion Barry famous for saying "The bitch set me up!!!" after being apprehended by the police with a crack-addict prostitute in a motel room smoking crack?

Priceless!

[ocmozfan]

This only furthers the case for marriage equality. All they have in their opposition is a lot of bible beating. Last time I checked, we weren't a theocracy. Thank God for it!

[t0nyc0nde]

DC has the highest AIDS rate, African-American men are killing one another and the women around them, and THIS is how "Bishop" Jackson is spending his time? Bashing gays for wanting to protect and care for one another? The ignorance and xenophobia he displays are appalling.

[wickedalwayz82]

john 4:20 if anyone says i love god, yet hates his brother, he is a liar. for anyone who does not love people that he can see, cannot love god whome he cannot see.

If hes really concerned about marriage he should be talking about divorce. its current national rate is at 60% +

[rg0057]

Luke 14:26 If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.

[MimosaGirl1]

Wonder how many hoodrat boys, Harry Jackson molested for him to operating from such horrible, self-defeating GUILT, lol. Shitrianity is in its last throes, and African-Americans aren't gonna be irritating us anymore with their backwardness and phobic behavior since we will dwindle down to not much percentage in the near future. On top of that, how many "how you doins" do you think are hiding behind the Church? LOTS. And they seem to gravitate to natural woods and parks to do their "durty".

[MimosaGirl1]

Pastors in the Black community should be held responsible for the ongoing deaths by AIDS due to RELIGIOUS IGNORANCE. Black people should sit down right now. My community is unfortunately stuck in the dark ages with religious hypocrisy and double-talk. I really don't care to hang around African Americans anymore. They all seemed to rally around stupidity and conspiracy theories, and not much else. No wonder so many of us were enslaved. It wasn't the white man, it was our STUPIDITY!

[plutogirllovekj]

Please don't generalize and stereotype, the reason levels of homophobia are greater in the black community is the same reason there's more homophobia in Tennessee than in NY: Education!! Plain and simple, some black people are less educated so they are more homophobic, they are also marginalized by their poverty and generally not exposed to different kinds of people, of course not all blacks are this way. I am sure if u took a polling of specifically well-educated blacks. it would be different

[plutogirllovekj]

typo alert!! "poll" not "polling" Je suis tres desolee!

[jerrydoubleu]

HOw many gay kids must die before religion stops teaching hatred.

[jerrydoubleu]

THis is what happens when ya give negras the vote.
