Reply #81: Like it or not there is a major tension between religious people and gays

[dsc]

I don't care who our nominee is he or she will get support, some financial some grassroots, from homophobic preachers most of whom will be African American. We aren't going to disavow that support so it would be hypocritical to make Obama return this donation. I am by no means justifying Washington's behavior, but like it or not, there are homophobes who will vote for a Democratic ticket and who will give money to Democratic candidates despite the fact those candidates aren't themselves homophobes. As long as the candidate continues to favor gay right's positions I don't care if he gets money from homophobes.
