Contrary to what some believe, all black opinion is not informed by what is discussed in houses of worship and barber shops.
However, it would be foolish to deny that black churches, especially in the south, yield a lot of political and social power.
That power could be used to help fight HIV and AIDS in the black community, but, by many accounts, the church is not doing its job in that arena.
To read the rest of this article, we are taken to another site, Stereohyped which has the e-mail address of snitch@stereohyped.com. Really? Snitch? Makes you wonder who is profiting off this bombardment of racial and religious postings? I never click on the Advertisers either.
When African American churches decide they love their daughters and son MORE than they hate queers, then they'll give their kids the BEST scientific information in reducing this pandemic. QUIT wishing and hoping your kids will miracuously do something their grandparents and parents NEVER did, abstain from sex until marriage.
"the church is not doing its job in that arena"
Ain't that the truth they rather spend their time spewing hatred against us and their money paying for the defense of homophobic homicidal thugs such as those in the post entitled:
""Bloods" Members Murdered Gay Mate, Say Baltimore Police"
Praise the lawd and the black hypocrisy,(now do a back flip in the air and throw yourself trembling into the floor)Hallelujah!
White churches wield a lot of power and influence too. It seems to me you are trying to hold black churches to a different standard. What's the word for that?
White churches care about stopping AIDS spread by heterosexuals in third world countries as a means to raise money from the gullible or to get grants from Bush's "faith based" fraud.
No one cares about gays infected with AIDS, except in our own community.
Once again Churchill-Y says: Praise the lawd and the black hypocrisy
This girl just don't stop.
Whenever anything negative of Blacks comes to Queerty. She is within 1 of the first 10 people who post to the subject!
But Churchill-Y question for you. The post on here where the WHITEguy was sentence to life in prison for his homophobic murder.
for your
reference:http://www.queerty.com/perversion-killer-gets-life-for-gruesome-gay-slay-20080815/
Why didn't you respond to that?
But yet and still you told me how can I see your prejudice???? That's PLAIN AND SIMPLE
It's a murder of a Gay Man from heterosexual who is WHITE…..
Where's your anger girl???? OOPS I said WHITE When it should have been other…
Like I thought it's just HATE and anger from you when it's reported that Blacks do it……PATHETIC
Now back to the issue at hand. There are many Black churches that do have HIV/AIDS Ministries. I am actually supporting one this year in my local AIDS Walk fundraiser.
And we must always remember it's a 2 party fold. While alot of churches IN GENERAL have issues about dealing with homosexuality and AIDS. There are some Black churches doing something about it and credit should be given for that. But the people must seek the help in order to get services provided for them.
BTW,Does the Catholic,Presbyterian, Sothern Baptist Churches have any HIV/AIDS ministries???
And I'm still suspect of Queerty of being subliminally vicious about posting so many BLACK,BLACK,BLACK community issues to a predominately non-Black audience.
Here in the south I'm suspect of all of these "Christians". Usually the best piece of trade can not be found in the bars or on the sites, but in the church. As far as Queerty, I've been closely monitoring ever since the post about the Blacks in CA. being the reason why the marriage ban might pass. Way to divide…
This post and the post about blacks in California did come from Stereohyped, Queerty's sister site. I'm the editor of the blog, which is geared toward a majority-black audience in the same way that Queerty is geared toward a gay audience. It's largely about race and racial topics… hence the racial postings. When I cover anything specifically LGBT-related, albeit from the perspective of a straight black woman, Andrew sometimes highlights the posts verbatim on Queerty. Simple as that. In the marriage-ban post, I was actually supporting the argument that the black community is not exactly cornering the market on homophobia, even though the stereotype is that we are totally anti-gay. It's an unfair and untrue characterization of an entire race of people. I believe you might have understood this if you had read past the introduction. Knowing the tone and general position of Stereohyped would have also helped to clarify the entire thing. The purpose of the two posts was definitely not to divide nor to inspire the "my excuse for hating all blacks is that I'm convinced all blacks hate me" contingent.
"the black community is not exactly cornering the market on homophobia, even though the stereotype is that we are totally anti-gay"
Really Lauren?
Then what do you call the innumerable daily news concerning homophobic and violent/murderous acts committed against us by black people? Or perhaps just like your so called 'gay' black brethren who post here regularly you would like Queerty to overlook such incidents and not blog about them.
That would be a great way to whitewash and undo the so called "unfair and untrue characterization" about blacks in this country.
I'm sure Steven Parrish would've sided with your line of thinking, that is before he got stabbed and stomped to death by his fellow black brothers after they found out "gay" text messages on his phone. He would've probably had a worst more agonizing spiritual and physical death in one of your lovely black churches.
""my excuse for hating all blacks is that I'm convinced all blacks hate me" contingent."
So what type of "contingent" do you expect there to be on the face of such persecution by your people against us? As another poster wrote on the Parrish story, do you people show us any respect and considerations in your houses of worship, organizations in your daily lives? I say most certainly not you don't. Quite the opposite and yet you have the gall of telling us when we make our voices heard against your hatred and vitriol that we are the ones instigating such violence and bigotry!
Wake up Gay people, aligning ourselves and being sympathetic to african Americans has gotten us nothing but their sheer disrespect, disdain and hatred so far what more are you expecting from them in the future? More bullshit that's what.
Once they finish using some of you to get into more powerful positions they'll turn against you and start unabashedly killing us in mass as their Jamaican and continental african brothers do without impunity. Then and only then will some of you see who really was "vile" but sadly it will be too late.
Once again this ignorant excuse for a human being Chittyshitty-Y says:
Really Chittyshitty-Y ,What Gay people align themselves and fight for African Americans? Please tell me an organization who has done such. Because GLAAD, HRC hasn't done SHIT for the Black Gay Community.
So your little 20 something year old ignorant ass needs to just SHUT THE FUCK UP!.
Once again from another post I commented referencing you.
It's OBVIOUS WE SEE YOUR HATE then you try to to flip it back on Blacks like you're really smart.
But another question for you. Why does this same HATE you have regarding us with such issues.
Why you don't question
1.White Evangelicals
2.Southern Baptists
3.Catholics
Simple becuse it's OKAY for you and yours to hate. But OH NO Not them. When it is WRONG for all who hate! UGH!!!!!
You are one IGNORANT,ABHORRENT, AND RABID QUEEN
Not even God could help you!
