AIR DATE: February 4, 2013

There are portrayals in the media that play up the idea that some ethnic and racial groups are more homophobic that others. A popular notion is that the African American community is more homophobic than the white community. Where do these ideas come from? We'll talk with a panel of local and national voices to discuss attitudes towards homosexuality within the black community.

Also, the discussion regarding whether or not this is a civil rights issue and whether or not that offends african americans is ridiculous. There are civilians who do not have the same rights as other civilians. That is what makes it a civil rights issue. All fights for equality are civil rights.

The longer this conversation continues the more offensive it seems. Homophobia is not limited to race and to even imply that one race is more homophobic than the rest is racist in itself. I assume tomorrows topic of discussion is going to be how whites are more racist than other races?

Another hypocrite selectively using parts of his bible to discriminate against others. I wonder what he thinks about the bibles view on slavery.

So the pastor wants us to beg forgiveness to God for the way he created us!!!??

"The African American community" is a convenient phrase but no more real than "The White Community." Coming from Chicago, the black gay scene created the dance music the whole world embraces. This group is completely separate from the church-going traditional black family group. Churchies are generally intolerant, regardless of skin color. Homophobia at its roots is solely a result of religious beliefs.
