[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Reverend Eric Lee, of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Alice Huffman, of the NAACP, agree: MARRIAGE IS A CIVIL RIGHT.
On yesterday’s broadcast with Patt Morrison on Southern California Public Radio, the two civil rights leaders discussed their support of marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples.
Rev. Lee, who is president of the SCLC’s Los Angeles chapter, was recently rebuked by his MLK-founded organization for his strong, public support of gay civil rights. Ms. Huffman, president of the California NAACP and a member of its national board, is part of a task force asking the 100-year-old civil rights giant to stand up for marriage equality.
This is a thoughtful audio clip with terrific insight into the division over gay civil rights inherent in the black community. Both Lee and Huffman are incredibly eloquent on why marriage is a civil institution, why African Americans should be the most ardent supporters of lgbt civil rights and why their religion does not deny support to the gay community—it requires it.
