Black Pastor Denounces Obama Over LGBT Rights!

Black pastor warns President Barack Obama about supporting gay marriage. He vows to dismantle the president if he stands in favor of the rights of LGBT.

As the conservative movement rally in defense of fast food restaurant Chick-Fil-A, another round of agitators comes out in defense of traditional marriage. This time it's a Black pastor who comes out of nowhere and makes the case to claim the president's recent endorsement of equal marriage rights for LGBT Americans is considerably a "Judas" move. This Black pastor demands that President Barack Obama retract his stance or face the wrath of the Black church sitting it out or endorsing Republican Mitt Romney.

It's getting play in the right wing radio, this pastor William Owens, of the Coalition of African American Pastors has come out of the woodwork to slam the president and vow to dismantle the president's core supporters. The Black support is overwhelmingly high. Over 85% of the registered African American voters support the president. This is crucial in an election where a candidate could benefit from a high turnout of first/second time voters.

Owens, a Black conservative pastor who is wrapped around The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) wants the president to stand with the religious Black leaders and remove himself from the notion of same sex marriage. He claims that he marched for the civil rights movement and declared that this movement doesn't include the rights of LGBT.


 “The President is in the White House because of the civil rights movement, and I was a leader in that movement, and I didn’t march one inch, one foot, one yard for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman.”

“So the President has forgotten the price that was paid. People died or they suffered or they gave their blood to have equal rights in the United States. And for the homosexual community and for [Obama] to bow to the money, as Judas did with Jesus Christ, is a disgrace and we are ashamed. We will not take it back. We will not back down. We are going to take action across this country to change the course that this President has us in.” says Owens.

The National Organization for Marriage tries to bring forth a wedge between Blacks and the gay community.

When President Barack Obama endorsed the notion of gay marriage, conservatives felt the time is now to get his movement dispirited. They worked hard to get things done. In North Carolina, a constitutional amendment was passed forbidding any notion of endorsing legalized gay marriage.

Black Couple Denied Marriage By A Southern Baptist Church!

Denied a marriage, Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson are expressing outrage over their church's ultra-conservative members rejecting Black couples from getting married.

The first ever Black leader of the Southern Baptist Church Fred Luter has a lot of baggage on his hands. The most conservative Christian domination in the United States is still a little uneasy about the addition of Black people into their folds. We here at Journal de la Reyna will talk about in the ongoing struggle for social justice. A Black couple in Mississippi regularly attends at a local church and had plans on getting married. It's marred with controversy.

They were turned away after the pastor raised concerns about his congregation and their feelings towards Blacks. According to the WLBT, a NBC affiliate television station out of Jackson, Mississippi, Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson were planning their big day, but the couple says the church where they were planning to wed turned them away because of their race.

Now, the couple wants answers, and the church's pastor is questioning the mindset of some of members of his congregation who caused the problem in the first place.

They had set the date and printed and mailed out all the invitations, but the day before wedding bells were to ring for Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson, they say they got some bad news from the pastor.

"The church congregation had decided no black could be married at that church, and that if he went on to marry her, then they would vote him out the church," said Charles Wilson.

The Wilsons were trying to get married at the predominantly white First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs -- a church they attend regularly, but are not members of.

"He had people in the sanctuary that were pitching a fit about us being a black couple," said Te'Andrea Wilson. "I didn't like it at all, because I wasn't brought up to be racist. I was brought up to love and care for everybody."

The church's pastor, Dr. Stan Weatherford, says he was taken by surprise by what he calls a small minority against the black marriage at the church.

"This had never been done before here, so it was setting a new precedent, and there are those who reacted to that because of that," said Weatherford.

Weatherford went on and performed the wedding at a nearby church.

"I didn't want to have a controversy within the church, and I didn't want a controversy to affect the wedding of Charles and Te' Andrea. I wanted to make sure their wedding day was a special day," said Weatherford.

After months of planning, the newlyweds say they had no choice but to go through with the wedding at the new location, but they still can't understand why a church would ban their wedding because of race.

"I blame the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs, I blame those members who knew and call themselves Christians and didn't stand up," said Charles Wilson.

Church officials say they welcome any race into their congregation. They now plan to hold internal meetings on how to move forward, should this situation occur again.

"I was prepared to go ahead and do the wedding here just like it was planned, and just like we agreed to," said Weatherford. "I was just looking for an opportunity to be able to address a need within our congregation and at the same time minister to them."
