Don’t they know we already have a Black History Month?

Not to mention a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day?

Via Pundette: black pastors in Washington D.C. are up in arms over gay marriage:

Rev. Anthony Evans of the National Black Church Initiative pointed out, “The state regulates marriage, but the church ordains marriage. Therefore the state has no business in the issue of marriage. Marriage is the union between one man and one woman, not two boys or two girls.”

The pastors said they’ll mobilize their congregations and fellow clergy to fight against gay marriage in D.C. and across the country. As the Reverend Gilbert shouted, “My brothers and sisters, we’ve got to cry aloud. We’ve got to say ‘not on our watch!'”

You’d think these pastors are looking to get some kind of Christianity Day or something.

Pundette has lots more, including numerous mentions of former D.C. Mayor Marion Berry – you know, the failed Mayor who did prison time on drug charges and still got re-elected several times. Here’s hoping he doesn’t become the face of the marriage debate.
