Obama- Sister Souljah Moment??

Gays are railing against a gospel singer who is actively supports Obama. Whatever happened to "can't we all just get along?"

More from the <AP:

A gay rights group on Monday urged Barack Obama to cut ties with a gospel singer who it says spreads false information about homosexuality being a choice.

Donnie McClurkin is among several gospel singers scheduled to raise money for the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate at a concert in South Carolina this weekend.

McClurkin has drawn attention from gay rights activists for his views on homosexuality.

"I don't believe that it is the intention of God," McClurkin said Monday in a telephone interview. "Sexuality, everything is a matter of choice."

McClurkin said he does not believe in discriminating against homosexuals. "What people do in their bedrooms and who they are as human beings are two different things," he said.

In a statement, Obama said he believes gays and lesbians are "our brothers and sisters" and should be afforded the same respect, dignity and rights granted all other citizens.


I hope for Obama's sake he stands his ground. If he is to be a leader for the country he can't let the inmates run the madhouse- so to speak. In other words, he needs to show independence and allow those with differing opinions to stand in support of him or else Obama just becomes a special interest lackey.

For gays- Obama supports you, so pipe down. What- is everyone going to bolt to guiliani if it becomes a choice between him or Obama? Give me a break- there's a war on people!
