CA. Gay groups need to work with this African American Pastor on Outreach.

Black and gay: The overturning of same-sex marriages in California has triggered a wave of resentment in the gay community, some of it aimed at African Americans.
Blacks turned out in droves to vote for Barack Obama for president. Unfortunately for gays, exit polls show that many of them also voted for Proposition 8.
Just last Sunday, Third Baptist Church minister and former San Francisco Supervisor Rev. Amos Brown - a veteran of the civil rights battles of the 1960s - launched into a sermon about the need to protect the rights of gays.
Suddenly, a young associate minister seated in the front row stormed the pulpit, grabbed a microphone and began lecturing Brown about the need to "just preach the Gospel and leave that other stuff alone."
Brown snatched the microphone from the man, who was quickly escorted out.
"There are African Americans who ... feel the white gays haven't stood with them on issues like social justice, education and housing," Brown said.
On the other hand, Brown also knows the black community was slow to offer support to gays at the outset of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
Brown warned the ugliness will continue if cooler heads don't prevail.
"What this man did storming the church pulpit was just the tip of the iceberg," he said

Rev. Amos Brown is an outspoken gay rights advocate, AND a reverend in an African American Church. THIS is who the Ca. gay groups need to have doing outreach. Why have they not contacted him?!? Come on people, lets move on this! :)
