A national coalition of Latino evangelical / protestant churches organized a big pro-Bush and anti-gay marriage rally in the Bronx (led by NY State Senator and Reverend Ruben Diaz, Sr.). Several Latino LGBT organizations and their allies were there to counter their bigotry.
It is so sad that a community that comes from a history of being persecuted for their culture, their background, their language, and their immigration status could stand and truly want to put this same hate and injustice on another population. Why are these people 5,000 marching to stop two people from loving each other. Did these same people rally against the cop who shot the young Black kid on the roof tops of NYC?
We would rather see men fighting each other or killing each other then loving each other and marring each other.
These Latinos need to wake up and smell the Cafe Bustelo. Bush is not for us. 1st is no Gay Marriage then whats next, English only policies? Closing the borders? Maybe test more bombs on Island of Puerto Rico.
Church and State are separate. At least that's what i was taught when i was in school.
PS I wonder if any of those 5,000 people sit at home and watch The Bachelor or The Bacheloret? Those heterosexual shows that marry people off to win money, NOW thatÂ’s what I call holding the sanctity of marriage.
1) what you don't get is that this is about rights, not about religion. the constitution guarantees equality of rights. 2) if you would give me a satisfactory, logical, humane answer to the following question, then i will consider my position: how does someone else's right to marriage change your relationship with your husband or wife and how does it undermine society?
