Blacks Not Cursed Anymore, But Gays Still AreTommi Avicolli-Meccabyline‚ Sep. 30‚ 2008A church that once believed blacks were cursed by god with their skin color and that a man had to have multiple wives in order to get into heaven, has postponed an ex-communication proceeding against a straight member who has come out against Proposition 8, the California measure banning gay marriage. That measure, which would put a halt to the gay weddings that have been conducted since a recent state Supreme Court ruling gave them the nod, is on the statewide November ballot. The Church of the Latter Day Saints, whose members are known as Mormons, has been urging its adherents in California to vote for the discriminatory proposition. Worse yet, funding the Prop 8 effort to the tune of more than $5 million so far, according to the L.A. Times. |
