Bishop Harry Jackson: Let People Vote on DC Gay Marriage

(0:47) "We would like to ask for Eleanor Holmes Norton, David Catania, and Jack Evans to actually do what I'm going to call Eleanor Holmes Norton's political bible says. I quote her statements from a previous time, 'the only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the right of people you don't agree with. Even though Eleanor Holmes Norton, Catania, and Evans are all gay marriage advocates, the people of this city still deserve the right to vote."

So funny - in South Africa in 1989, whites voted on whether or not they thought blacks should be allowed to vote. Utterly revolting - a priest should know better.

News Flash: Gay Marriage is the only political issue black conservative religious leaders have addressed in the last eight years.

Meanwhile, in the black community only 31% of adult blacks are married, while 69% of adult blacks remain unmarried. And single African-American women give birth to 70% of all black children, while only 30% are born to married couples.

Call them out!

This man should no better! If it were "up to peoples votes" in the 1860's, he would most likely be picking cotton in a field in Alabama!

Rev Jackson needs to spend More time worrying about Prince Georges County and leave the laws in DC to DC residents. With all the cuttings, shootings and acts of crime in PG, I think his time would be better spent trying to pastor to His people in PG on how we all need to respect each other. Keep your bigot self out of DC!!

We need a vote on tax exemptions for religious organizations.

Black religious conservatives should be ashamed of themselves. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, almost 70% of adult African-Americans are not married, and over 69% of all births to African-American women occur outside of marriage!

Black religious conservatives are pathetic! They should stop worrying about gays, take a hard look in the mirror, and start worrying about their own damned communities. LOL

Just ask this clown to actually explain 'how' gay marriage damages any part of society.
