These ministers are jokes! And a few of them have a reputation of being bi-sexual themselves, so it doesn't surprise me that they would reject the clear teachings of the Scripture on the perverted behavior of homosexuality. God has promised to judge all non-repentant sexually immoral and sexually perverted people. For the record, no true minister of God would embrace what God Himself has declared to be an abomination (The detestable thing), and in the book of Romans, God describes homosexuality in the following manner: "unnatural, against nature, an error, shameful, degrading, vile affection, and it has a penalty: the judgment of Almighty God. (Romans 1:26-28)

No one, I mean absolutely no one takes Al Sharpton seriously as a Christian minister. He is nothing more than a politician hiding behind the cloak of spiritual piety. I will NEVER EVER support sexual perversion on any level.

This article should be titled “Some Black Clergy Back MD Same Sex Marriage” as I think the overwhelming majority of opponents are members of the “Black Clergy.” Just another attempt to portray some people in a positive light.

These people aren’t Christians as Christians follow the teachings of christ. They don’t represent clergy, just their personal opinion.
