I think the black churches (which tend to exist as "black churches" because backs were unwelcome in "white churches"
... are trying to repair the kind of damage that the "black family" had experienced over the last 150+ years.
I'm white, and my next door neighbors are an African American family. They are a very religious family. He and I don't really talk about religion, or politics, but we do talk about "family".
Its obvious that a key focus of his is to mentor the young black males in his family and in his church.
And while I have not pressed him on this ... I get the sense that he's not going to focus much on getting gay AA men to marry other gay AA men, until he feels that straight AA men who should be married to the women with whom they father children, are also married.
