WOW! I remember my parents getting Jet when I was a kid, and the cheesy bikini-clad centerfold. Now to see this: an African-American magazine featuring a same-sex couples.
We ARE winning this fight!

I do applaud Jet for doing this issue highlighting a gay marriage, but this is hardly new to the Black community. Ebony magazine has featured gay and lesbian couples and issues for years.
side note: Ebony did an amazing article last year about most gay and lesbian couples who adopted were Black and lived in the south.

and remember – ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM
If you think the kluxers eg are gone, the only diff between now and the past is they dont wear white sheets and hoods
Heres an example – the head of the FRC, tony perkins, an evangelical xtian not only hates gays but he’s in bed with the kluxers.
Its a sad sad life when one hates multiple minorities – most likely because he hates himself.

the founder of the FRC, George Rekers does hate himself. turns out he is “queer”

He also ran the NARTH fix the gays group, and couldnt even fix himself.

It’s these steps where the minds are won, it’s taken a hell of a fight to get to this point, where the reporting of gay marriages is mingled in with straight marriages and every other bit of relationship news.
It’s this normality and presentation as equal not separate or derided where the hardest most time consuming yards are made.
The tide has changed, we should make more of a deal about these victories as they really matter.
