President Obama hosted a reception at the White House celebrating LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride Month. Black Christians should take note and learn a few things about our black president.
As they say, we are what we do.
It tells us something that Mr. Obama had no time to host an event for the National Day of Prayer.
Nor did he have time to accept the invitation to convey greetings and a few remarks to the couple hundred thousand who came to Washington, as they do every January, for the March for Life.
However, the LGBT Pride event did make it onto the president's busy schedule.
Here are parts of his remarks I think noteworthy for black Christians:
First, we now know that Mr. Obama buys into reasoning equating the homosexual political movement to the black civil rights movement: "… it's not for me to tell you to be patient any more than it was for others to counsel patience to African-Americans who were petitioning for equal rights a half century ago."
Don't miss David Kupelian's culture-war classic, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom"
Perhaps Mr. Obama can extend some of his famous empathy to a black Christian woman, Crystal Dixon, who lost her University of Toledo job for writing a column in her local paper challenging this premise. Ms Dixon was fired for being uppity enough to write: "I take great umbrage at the notion that those choosing the homosexual lifestyle
are 'civil rights victims.' … I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a black woman."
Considering our president's priorities, I recall a song popular during the civil rights movement: "Which Side Are You On?"
