Amazing DC Council Hearing on Gay Marriage Bill -- Final Witness

For more info about the struggle for marriage equality in the District of Columbia, vist: http://www.metroweekly.com/

DC Councilman Phil Mendelson chairs a hearing on the ''The Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Equality Amendment of 2009.'' Over 100 witnesses spoke before the Council. The bill is expected to easily pass through the Council since 10 of the 13 Members are already sponsors.

The final witness who identifies herself as Ernestine Copeland(er?) speaks about the Council sending the city's residents to Hell, the influence of demons, and something about "Sodomy and Gomor."

Black people fought for civil rights not so long ago... Surprisingly, they seem to have forgotten what they went through! PATHETIC!

I don't understand, and please read carefully what I say because this has a very significant meaning, I'm not trying to sound racist when I say this: This woman is black - This black woman is a very religious person - This black religious woman is trying to fight against gay marriage - This black religious woman who's trying to fight against gay marriage completely forgot how black people were treated back in the days - This black religious woman who's fighting against gay marriage is ignorant.

Oh sweet Jesus! Where do these people come from? The homophobes must be cringing to see who's playing on their team!

@TheStrong32 I completely agree. :)

"we can't even get a black man employed in this town....." --- I wish I was there. I would have said "Excuse me, but a black man was just employed to the White House."

It is really hard to not make fun of these people.

I'm sorry, but you know what they say....... stereotypes usually exist for a reason.

This lady is a prime example of why Freedom of Speech should be revisited ASAP. She makes a fool of Christians, herself, and uses the Bible as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. This is just one of many reasons the right wing American christian Taliban is losing ground in the GLBT marriage battle. Msss. Ernestine Copeland would make a fine leader for IFC... Idiots For Christ! She is indeed quite full of herself.

"Sodomy and Gomorrah!"

Hahahahahaha!! This Bible-thumper doesn't even know the Biblical name of the city.

She was so over-the-top, I bet she's really a lesbian performance artist. This is so hillarious!
