Reply #30: If I remember correctly, many gays were saying no apology would be enough.

[Anouka]

I remember at Daily Kos, some African-Americans were asking what apology would be enough, if his pro-gay statements before McClurkin used the opportunity himself were not enough?

I remember the answers. Some said they wanted McClurkin off the tour, regardless of what that would do to the black church-going community when it came to the appearance of 'whites are telling us what we can and can't do again'. More self-identifying gays were concerned with saying they'd never vote for him than with explaining what they would accept as an apology and a peace offering.

But maybe enough time has passed since then.





What apology would be enough, from Obama to gays? What does the general gay community want at this point, since McClurkin can't be taken off a tour which isn't currently happening.

And has the white gay community and black gay community come together finally? or is one side still ignoring the other until it's expedient to pay attention?
