Gay Activist Groups 'Hi-Jacking' Rev. King's 'I Have A Dream' Anniversary
I suppose you have to consider the source on this one. It came from the Family Research Council (news source Yahoo), a right wing organization whose purpose among other things is the total elimination of all civil rights for gay people. They won't say that because that would sound bad, but they wouldn't feel bad about it if that happened. In fact, these people wouldn't feel bad if all the gays just went away.
The only thing I can say about Rev. King's "I Have a Dream" speech is this: if the words are true for one group, they are true for all groups. Otherwise, they mean nothing.
On August 23rd, groups from around the nation will gather at the Lincoln Memorial to mark the 40th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. The "March on Washington" event is co-sponsored by a number of liberal organizations, and this year, it will incorporate homosexual activist organizations. The Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council strongly opposes the hijacking of the civil rights movement by homosexual activists, and believes that homosexual behavior cannot be equated with such innate characteristics as sex or race.
"Time and again, pro-homosexual activists have attempted to forward their political agenda by associating themselves with the civil rights movement, much to the dismay of many African-Americans, who fought long and hard for their rights," said Peter Sprigg, Director of the Center for Marriage and Family Studies at the Family Research Council.
"They are even extending these arguments to their demands for counterfeit marriage by saying that same-sex couples are being discriminated against the same way inter-racial couples had been years ago. This analogy is not valid at all. Marriages between members of different races and different religions do not change the fundamental design of the marriage relationship: that of one man and one woman. So-called "same-sex marriage," however, completely dismantles the marital union," Sprigg said.
Members of the media looking for reaction to the involvement of gay and lesbian organizations in this weekend's "March on Washington", please contact the FRC press office.
