The NAACP Board of Directors has just endorsed marriage equality unequivocally. Only two opposed! An historic moment.
Reblogged this on Queer Landia.
The two opposing may wish they hadn’t one of these days …lol
Good news though
This is awesome.
Hopefully, a game changer
This must be progress!
It certainly sets a new tone to the debate.
I’m not familiar with these organizations – does this one carry much weight in the African-American community?
They’re the biggest association of the kind. Remember the bus boycott and Rosa Parks, she was part of the NAACP.
Ah kk – then even those whose preachers tell them gays are ‘bad’ will sit up and take notice. That is progress
