Michael + Jamil’s Fabulous Wedding Erupts Into College Controversy of Gaudy Proportions
Give me a break, you wannabe pretty-boy trolls making these petty remarks about two of our brothers. Instead of passing judgment on looks and whos’ in the wedding party, celebrate their union, and their courage to honor each other in this way. The story is not so much about them, it’s about using a university email account to spread homophobia. Get it? And yes, the bitch who spewed her hatred (which is what it is) should have been fired. Praise to the university president for taking the stand that he did.

A great part of this that is being missed is that many people after the Prop 8 situation in CA. were basically saying that the entire black community hated gays etc… I think that it should be a very pleasent revelation to those people that Morehouse college is one of the top historically black colleges in the country. They investigated and jumped on this situation immidiately. Here is some more of the PResident of the colleges statement from the article link.
“Morehouse College—the institution where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of our nation’s premier champions of human and civil rights, was nurtured—has a history of promoting tolerance and inclusion for all people. Remarks such as the ones made in the e-mail were counter to Dr. King’s—and the College’s—core values and will not be tolerated from any Morehouse employee or student. Effective September 30, the employee who made the offensive comments is no longer working for the College. ”
I think it’s great that this guy is president of this school and is teaching these values.

I also expected to read that one of the ‘brothers’ were fired. This is a great story and everyone reading it should drop Morehouse College President Franklin a big thank you note for standing up against homophobia as well as the other rants in the womens email against biracial couples, etc.
I can still smile at some of the silly remarks made here, but really guys, please take some of that wit of yours and put it to some constructive use by sending Mr. Franklin a thank you letter…..

Come now people. It is their wedding and they can go as far over the top as they please…because…IT IS THEIR WEDDING! Their tastes may be different from yours, but I am sure they had a great day. Weddings can be big and small and we are only seeing just some of the pictures of that day.
As for the gossip queen, she stepped over the line when she started circulating the photos with her personal opinions which got passed on to other people and then further on down the line. Sure, if she passed on the photos and giving her congrats, she wouldn’t have crossed the line into the gossip realm. Work email is essentially that…for work.

This is what I wanted to see when gay people started getting married. Straight people have tacky, loud weddings–why shouldn’t gay people? The cuffs on that one guys’ outfit are a bit much, but fit in the overall theme. Love it.
Something I still don’t understand. At this point, after countless stories of people getting fired for using their work e-mail for inappropriate things, why do folks keep doing it? Gmail, yahoo etc. are free. You can access them with any web browser. Any person with the sense God gave a goose would use one of those for personal email. This twit was stupid and good on Morehouse for firing her.

For all of you making mean and catty comments about these two gentlemen, you do realize you’re the same as the woman who got fired right? How the hell are we supposed to get straight people to accept us if we can’t accept the fact that gay people come in all shapes, sizes, colors and backgrounds?

A gay wedding with no men other the the grooms in the weeding party. Looks very odd to me.
