[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They'll turn out to Vote for Obama and also defeat Gay marriage. Love it.[/b]

"Although marriage wasn’t a factor for African Americans in Obama’s first campaign, it could be this time, said William Cabell, 49, of Upper Marlboro. Obama’s new stance “threw me for a curve. I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to support him now, because I don’t have the same belief.”

Cabell, a black Democrat, knows he will vote against same-sex marriage in Maryland’s referendum but can’t see casting another ballot for Obama.

“I’d love to be supportive to my president,” said Cabell, who works for the Montgomery County school system. “I have to be loyal to my God.”

The Rev. Nathaniel Thomas, pastor of Forestville New Redeemer Baptist Church and a leader of the campaign against Maryland’s new marriage law, said Obama’s statement “took the wind out of me. His family image has been great for our community, and now he has allowed another agenda to cloud the great, positive image he created of the black family.”

Wenona Price, however, plans to stick with Obama, even though she will vote against same-sex marriage in Maryland.

“There are a lot of things that people might do that I don’t agree with, but it doesn’t mean that we end our relationship,” said Price, 49, an entrepreneur in Clinton. “You have to look at his work in the past four years. I think his pluses outweigh his minuses.”

Guys, guys! This thread was started by an obnoxious troll who either 1) hates gay marriage and Obama and really wants to stick it to liberals or 2) just pretends to hate both because he/she likes creating turmoil on DCUM.

Notice how this thread has become a big fight between people who apparently have left-liberal views who are arguing about whether black people are more homophobic than other racial and ethnic groups?

OP must be sitting there at his/her computer having a delightful time watching us all fight.  Don't feed the troll.[/quote]
