The detestable homophobic hatred in African-American communities, especially among Christian conservatives, evokes the myth-based idiocy of anti-miscegenation laws and Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda. It's irrational, dangerous scapegoating that distracts and deludes listeners.
The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) is dedicated to fighting homophobia in the black community.
The NBJC responded recently to the Barak Obama/Donnie McClurkin controversy.
There's excellent coverage of this also by Pam Spaulding, a Salon guest blogger, in "Obama zapped by the third rail of black homophobia."
