Blacks vs. Gays
I am sure you heard about the Tim Hardaway controversey, what is going on? First the guy from Grey's Anatomy and now Tim Hardaway. Especially within the rubric of political coalitions Blacks and Homosexuals have an alliance. I am proud to say that alliance is usually manifested within the Democratic Party. Homosexuals often draw comparisons between their struggle and the African-American struggle for Civil Rights. While there are many divergent views on that subject I hope the latest episodes do not harm that delicate fabric that produces great leaders like Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Barack Obama.However, here is the quesiton. It is well known that the Black church by most accounts is a conservative institution. Do you think religous dogma makes African-Americans uncomfortable with homosexuality?

I think religios dogma can make ANY person homophobic. As a non-religious black woman, there are a good number of us that are homophobic, but there are also others out there like myself that are not homophobic. I think it depends on the person's experiences.
