JC Penney ad features same-sex married couple and their kids; Gay pastor loses half of his congregation
JC Penney has launched a Father’s Day ad featuring a same-sex gay couple and their two children. The ad copy reads: “real-life dads Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children, Claire and Mason.”
The gay marriage-friendly campaign comes on the heels of President Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage earlier this month — a move some critics believe was politically motivated.
A week after Obama’s surprise announcement, the national media went into overdrive promoting same-sex marriage in all platforms. Some media outlets announced recent polls showing support for gay marriage steadily increasingly among the black community.
But the fact remains that in the 32 states where same-sex marriage is banned by law, blacks were the major contributing factor against gay marriage.
Blacks who fear that the traditional family is under attack in America believe that children need both a mother and a father.
Despite the misleading headlines proclaiming black support for gay marriage is evolving, a St. Paul church is on the brink of closing after losing more than half of its congregation when their pastor announced his support of gay marriage.
The Rev. Oliver White, 69, has no regrets that his strong support of same-sex marriage set off a stampede from his church. Grace Community United Church of Christ, the only UCC church in Minnesota with a predominantly black congregation, needs $200,000 by June 30 to pay off a loan or it will be forced to close.
The church’s problems began in 2005 when the Rev. White attended a UCC conference in Atlanta where he voted with a majority of delegates in favor of a resolution supporting gay marriage
“I was really in shock,” said Pastor White, who is gay. “I visited one member after another, who told me they weren’t coming back because of it. The membership evaporated right before my eyes. Their fundamental belief was it’s wrong for a man and a man to marry or a woman and a woman to marry. A lot of them said if I change, they’d come back. But I told them, it is what it is. I am who I am. And this is what I fight for.”
“I think he was offended because we abruptly left,” said Pastor Donald Keith. “Pastors have a responsibility to teach the Bible truth. We have no right to distort what the Bible has to say. We didn’t want to support him at all if that’s the way he believed,” said Keith whose wife also left the church.
“When he came out and definitely said homosexuality was not a sin, we said ‘Whoa, this is a pastor,” said Keith. “How is he calling himself ‘reverend’? It’s not compatible with what the Bible teaches.”

I personally would not attend a church that is pastored by a gay minister. It’s my personal preference, but I’m not going to comdemn anyone else who does or the pastor himself. Everybody has their own agenda and peope are really not that bright if they think President Obama is going to run a campaign on a gay marriage platform. We have much bigger concerns as a nation than gay marriage and the resolution of traditional families.

We just want to blame everything and everybody else. Now it’s the gays fault that black families can’t make it? If black people would stop being so negative about gays, perhaps this whole DL epidemic would start to clear up and more black men would come out or at least stopping faking the funk.

I had to stop reading this and log in as fast as I could when I got to the part that read “Blacks who fear that the traditional family is under attack in America believe that children need both a mother and a father.” What!!?? Get real. If you are straight and you don’t like gay marriage just don’t marry a gay person and you should be alright. I don’t see how it would effect anything in your life. Have a good day and mind your own business in the process.
Saying blacks are against gay marriage cause they are for traditional marriage is bullsht. Most people that are against gay marriage (black, white, brown, yellow) believe it goes against God and the Bible. Period.
If the black community as a whole is so pro traditional marriage we wouldn’t have mothafckers with 50-11 kids by as many partners with no rings. Psh.
oh
@Kisha
morning to all I have not greeted
Why is it when it’s a black man sneaking with other men he’s on the downlow but when a white man does it, he’s in the closet???
Hey, those people have the right to walk out and attend another house of worship if the person who is leading them (the shepard so to speak) beliefs doesn’t align with theirs.
I have my own thoughts on the subject
but if someone doesn’t adhere to something, you can’t bring another thing that has absolutely nothing to do with the other to correlate to it. Its like comparing apples and oranges imo.
I do love the Gays however

@Naija
I’ve been wondering that for YEARS! You don’t her the term “down low” when you speak about white men…I think it’s because a lot of times they aren’t really hiding what they are doing from their wives, but more so from society???
I could be wrong though…
@Naija because everything black men do is portrayed in a way to make them appear untrustworthy, dishonest, corrupt, nasty, bad, criminal, etc while white men’s indiscretions are softened under the guise of youth, low self esteem, troubles, fear and privacy
Half the men being called downlow aren’t really down low they just haven’t told everybody their business but black women (not all) refuse to see the difference between a gay man who doesn’t want to tell and a dirty ass ninja who’s screwing everything cause he can

In the closet = I like dudes but I just haven’t told anybody.
Down Low = I like dudes but I just wanna have sex and secret relationships with them but I’m gone date chicks and probably have a wife and kids.
You can’t go against what the Bible tells us. I believe in GOD, JESUS is my SAVIOR.
It’s wrong.

PRRRRREEEACH!!! IF A WHITE MAN GAY THERE HAS TO BE SOME REASON WHY.. MEDICAL.. MENTAL.. PHYSICAL IF ITS A MINORITY THEY JUST NAWSTY 
It’s “down low” and not “in the closet” because it sounds nastier and seedier and reflects many black folks view on two men fcking. Those types are low down in their eyes. Imo.
Never thought I’d see the day when a openly gay woman is dissatisfied that the President of the United States publicly supports gay marriage, and he still doesn’t get a dap from her. Sad, but there’s always the option of buying a one way ticket back across the pond where life is quite lovely living under the ruling of a Queen (no pun intended). Or stay here and vote for Romney who’s mind changes like the weather, and let’s see how you enjoy life then

That’s the point of this blog: to create intelligent dialogue and debate issues that affect us as a community.
@Fefe: Rondo played his ass off last night!!
Them refs in Miami were paid, cuz Rondo got fouled hard by Dwade and they let that shyt pass but when Dwade got tapped they have him free throws, FOH!! Stern needs to investigate that shyt cuz they tipping the scales.
@BC but my point is why don’t white men get that label…there are just as many of them who enjoy fcuking a man and not telling their wives/girlfriends
Now that this church has gotten major attention, he’ll get the money he needs – and new membership.
I flip flop back and forth on this issue myself, but I’m wondering if any of those righteous folk left that church when he talked about liars, cheaters, etc. When the pastor stands up and says, “I have sinned… I cheated on my wife… I effed with the church’s money… I made a baby with susta Berthalene…” they stand up, applaud and give his a$$ an special “anniversary” luncheon to help with child support/alimony payments. But when the pastor stands up and says, “I’m a queen” – they leave the congregation altogether.
Why?
I’m on the fence about the whole “gay is OK thing” (IN THE CHURCH)… do what you do, but INSIDE the church, if you’re going to preach the WORD and stand by the Word and that word says it’s wrong, let’s not CHANGE the Word to go along with society… try to change society to go along with the Word.
I do believe the church should be about ACCEPTANCE because if you can accept liars, thieves, etc and the bible speaks against all of that, then you should accept gays. The problem I have is that we have become more politically correct than we have become bible based and that means that we “Amen” at the thought of pastor blasting the fornicators, cheaters and thieves, but he’s not allowed to talk about the gays.
A sin is a sin is a sin and those who BELIEVE in the bible have an obligation to say, “I’m not going to DENY the Word and say that it’s RIGHT, but I love you with all of my might ANYWAY.
@Sandra
Yeah I see all the shade you throw at my Celtics on Twitter…and I don’t like it!
When will people learn that what they eat won’t make the next person ****! Please worry about your own family before worrying about the other. All these children that we are hearing about being murdered and drowned could have been taken in by someone who loves them. If that is a same sex couple then so be it but please don’t blame gays for the failure of black marriages and the lack of love a kid gets. A 2 parent home isn’t what happy makes all the time.
As far as the church thing,if my pastor came out and said that he was gay that is not gonna change how I interpret the bible. Come one people, a pastor is there for support and guidance. It’s up to you to read the bible and comprehend it. Stop idolizing your pastor. God is a jealous God and if you start to worship false idols you are not following the bible anyway. Donnie McClurkin is gay,aint nobody prayed the gay out of him I don’t care what he says. But I bet it don’t stop all from sanging the **** outta We Fall Down!!!

Bottom line, imo, is all this judgement of how others are leading their lives will land you right next to whoever you’re judging in whatever lies beyond. #theend
Selective Christians and their selective sins…if you are going to be disgusted with homosexuality then you should be stoning women that are raped and single mothers…ostracizing women that get their hair done and use makeup…

I don’t believe in Gay Marriage and I will stand by it till the day I die. Why? Cuz I JUST DON’T and that is for me to live with. Do I hate homosexuals? Hell no! I just go by what the book told me and that is MAN and WOMAN. I feel a certain way about it and I respect others feelings that are opposite to mine.
So me not being married and fukking, or being a single mother, or lying and cheating has no bearing or validity on what I believe or have an opinion on. We ALL fall short. The Good book is all about interpretation cuz didn’t the Slave masters use that same book to validate why Slavery was a good thing?
@Naija
The same way yt unwed parents are still mothers and fathers while we are babydaddies and babymommas. Folks above touched on the demonizing of anything black and “they” love to take phrases and terms that we use tongue in cheek and turn them into derogatory terms. Shyt, the’ve turned black people and nigg.ers into urban and thugs so they can get away with lightweight racism in everyday media.
IGO SIR WTF IS THAT IN UR GRAVI.. LOOKS ANGRY AND READY TO ESSPLODE!
@Carrington it becomes judgment when you focus on only one thing…where’s this correction for all the people out there fornicating…the same people that sit there and focus on homosexuality are taking their 13/14 year old daughters to get abortions…go to the strip clubs to get those girls off the polls, correct that ish…not sure how telling someone they’re going to hell for loving the same sex is correction
At the end of the day, this topic will go on, and on, and on…
One question that will forever be on the minds of “the people” gay, straight, and a hint of curious is, “What’s in the chicken wraps!?!?!?!”

Yeah I get SICK of folks calling them old! They are an awesome team! …now if they would just keep Paul Pierce fouling ass OUT of the game in the 4th quarter we might get somewhere!
@Carrington I agree that the church’s membership is gonna go up but I also understand people leaving the church if the pastor is going against what is specifically said in the bible as well. There are churches all over the country right now not following the Word and that’s what’s wrong with the church. It’s one thing to be accepting and love everyone regardless of background, personal choices, etc (love the sinner but hate the sin). The Bible says to do that (which many people like to overlook but that’s another discussion). It’s wrong for a pastor to lead his flock in an opposite direction than the Word that the church is based on and that goes for more than just gay marriage. I would have left the church as well
@Carrington no the question is what are 3 cheeses

Didn’t BLACK PEOPLE come up with the terms “Baby Daddy and Baby Momma/Mama?”
Hell there’s a song called “That’s just my Baby Daddy.” By BLACK PEOPLE.
We can’t blame everything on the white man

Gypsy I HATE the terms babymamma and babydaddy and refuse to allow anyone to call me that and will get on the people in my circle who allow themselves to be referred that way
You are a mother and father and the person you had children with is the mother/father of your child… period whether you are married, single, divorced, whatever. Until we start to treat ourselves and refer to ourselves with respect no one else will respect you and to me those terms are the ultimate disrespect to parenthood
@Fe Fe
Okay… Ill leave your Celtics alone
The bums
@FEFE
No I’m not. Not really. What do you find so
about that though?

Rondo played his ass off last night!!
Them refs in Miami were paid, cuz Rondo got fouled hard by Dwade and they let that shyt pass but when Dwade got tapped they have him free throws, FOH!! Stern needs to investigate that shyt cuz they tipping the scales.
__________________________
The refs weren’t paid. They swallowed their whistle more than a few times when Heat players were getting hammered! In the end it was a good game and the Heat won. Rondo was balling though. Gotta commend him but it just wasn’t enough.
Let’s Go Heat!!!

Well good morning to you too Bibi
Nah until I cant grasp where YSO is coming from I will keep my distance
The Rubix cube that is YSO is not to be taken lightly.
@YSo
Because I don’t think I’ve EVER seen you flirt on this here blog…so it seemed a bit out of character…that’s why I was laughing…
On another note I was laughing my ass off in the shower this morning thinking about your tweets last night too!

I miss the days when the NBA was more physical and they weren’t so whistle happy
Makes for a great game of ball. It was a good game yesterday but they need to be consistent in the shooting and Rondo was the only one that was last night.
@Gypsy
She sounds too cute!
@Fe FE
Okay
Ill be good

Hey Cali
Hi Laker and Naija
how you ladies doing today
A sin is a sin is a sin and those who BELIEVE in the bible have an obligation to say, “I’m not going to DENY the Word and say that it’s RIGHT, but I love you with all of my might ANYWAY.
^^^^^
This and
vvvvvv
But (I may be wrong on the passage, but not the book) James 5:20 says that he who converts a sinner from the err of his ways shall save a soul from death and hide a multitude of sins.
The bible says CORRECTION is not judgement.
_______________
Take Heed People!!! Just because someone is against same sex marriage doesn’t mean they are against that person. At the end of the day, you will be on that line for what choices you made and causes you stood for. Tell JESUS your reasonings for your choices. I can’t put you in heaven or hell.
But as for me and my house…..

This REAL MAN OF GENIUS used industrial-strength paint the kind thats used to paint ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines… Took this Dumbass 24 Hours to get this damn paint off.

Ppl are stupid. There will soon be a new reality show called”Redneck Island”. Why did they use Duct Tape to get the hair off dudes back?
But that is what I sometimes loathe about our people! How are you gonna fight for the respect that you don’t want to even give your own self? It’s how you carry yourself. I will never consider myself a babymama I’m a MOTHER and that’s what I will always be considered as. Eff what they say in the streets.

You guys on this blog are killing me. What is so damn mysterious and insolvable about me?
@FEFE
I usually don’t have anyone worthy of flirting with. I’m not good at that anyway. I’m still on playground sht. I’ll kick you in the shin or knock you in the dirt to show that I like you.
Sooo…You enjoyed my tweets on The Wiz?
Yeah, we created the term and alot of other dumb ass phrases, but they infuse it with vitriol when they use it. Some things just ain’t for everyone. Ex: I can get into an argument with my brother, maybe even call him a bytch and go to blows with him, YOU CAN’T. You’ll get jumped by both of us. Hope that makes sense.
@ Gigi a lot of stuff they need to let pass. Some players if you breathe on them the refs call a foul and thats ridiculous. Plus all that whistle blowing prolongs the game and some folks have to get up in the morning to go to work!
@gypsey
insolvable = UNsolvable
Y’all know what I meant.
@IGo
fcuk you and your rest nigguh *was that too harsh*
I will NOT judge anybody b/c we all sin but I will say I wouldn’t attend a church with a gay pastor. I have so much I wanna say but, I’ll keep my opinions to myself on this one doe

Hey bew I’m glad I’m NOT alone
Co mothfuggin sign @ whoever sais “selective Christans” with their “selective classification” of sins. The Bible also says that you’re not supposed to eat shellfish,doesn’t stop you from eating “endless shrimp” and I’m sure evreybody who’s cosigning w Samdra was a virgin on their wedding night… Sin is sin. Point.Blank.Period. I believe in equal rights for everyone…. Not just straight people…
@YGO
Hm…That’s a lot of pressure on little ole me. Like I told Brenden, y’all are probably gonna end up disappointed. But I’ll play along until it no longer amuses me to do so.
Wants to know where the hell Friday is and that that ninja needs to understand that my food is now free since he is LATE!!!!
#172 I think I understand what you mean
Phro you crazy!!!
Beastiality is next equal opportunity for everyone I guess..
@gigi26 would you vote against gay marriage? If so, would you back making divorce illegal? Having children out of wedlock? Premarital sex? The issue is, it comes off as being hypocritical when people don’t want to enforce other sins in the bible that CANNOT be interpreted in any other way.
Anyway, I agree with whomever said people don’t leave churches when the pastor has an affair, announces he is leaving his wife, or is having a child out of wedlock with either his girlfriend (if he is unmarried) or his mistress.
Black people should be more concerned with raising their sons to be great fathers and husbands. And raising their daughters to not believe “I’m strong I can do it all by myself”, raise them to respect their bodies, and know their partner before they create a life with them.
@sandra Being fruitful is for those who are married, which is why some people don’t use any form of birth control which includes knowing when you are ovulating to prevent having sex.
