*Dr. Alveda C. King, the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., has expressed dissatisfaction with the NAACP’s affirmation of gay marriage and rejects claims that the fight for such unions is linked to the civil rights movement, reports the Christian Post. King claims the anti-traditional marriage community wants “a world where homosexual marriage and abortion will supposedly set the captives free.”
Dr. King, who is also the Sr. Pastoral Associate and Director of African-American Outreach for Priests for Life and Gospel of Life Ministries, said in astatement that she opposes the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s recent endorsement of same-sex marriage.
“Neither my great-grandfather an NAACP founder, my grandfather Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. an NAACP leader, my father Rev. A. D. Williams King, nor my uncle Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. embraced the homosexual agenda that the current NAACP is attempting to label as a civil rights agenda,” the civil rights leader expressed.
“In the 21st Century, the anti-traditional marriage community is in league with the anti-life community, and together with the NAACP and other sympathizers, they are seeking a world where homosexual marriage and abortion will supposedly set the captives free,” King added.
I’d rather hear what Bernice and Dexter have to say.. and Martin III too
“Neither my great-grandfather an NAACP founder, my grandfather Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. an NAACP leader, my father Rev. A. D. Williams King, nor my uncle Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. embraced the homosexual agenda that the current NAACP is attempting to label as a civil rights agenda.”
True dat!
I usually don’t agree with Dr. Alveda, but I have to give her props for speaking the truth concerning her past relative’s values, even though others would be afraid, given the expected backlash from the gay mafia.
People can say that MLK would embrace the gay agenda if he was alive, but that would be pure conjecture. The fact is that what Alveda says is true. Back then, MLK would have none of it.
The way I see this gay thing, is they should have the right to do what they want, but others should also have the right to reject their agenda. Groups that have traditionally opposed this lifestyle, now has to comply or face being ostracized. That’s not freedom of choice.
The NAACP has clearly lost its way. I guess the price to pay for being an Obama apologist.
Hmmm, maybe no so much. The problem w/her speaking on behalf of her relatives is that it based all on assumptions since she was a child when her uncle died and I doubt very seriously that she ever had a conversation about “gay rights” w/any of them. Further she conviently left out one person who knew Martin well and was fully supportive of gay rights, Martin’s former widow, Coretta. So i take what she says about her relatives w/a grain of salt.
I do know that the man who essentially “molded” King into the nonviolent activist he was…was an openly gay man himself who also had been ostracized by some w/in the civil rights community.
The NAACP has officially turned themselves into an utter joke. There is no reason why a civil rights organization to medically attach themselves to the hip of the president of the US. It makes no sense. They’re “coming out” was just as disingenous than Obama’s. Actually, theirs was so much worse!
