BALTIMORE (WJZ)– Just days after President Barack Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage, pastors and priests around Maryland took to their own pulpits with their reaction– and in some cases– condemnation of the president.
Derek Valcourt explains the president’s comments have folks on both sides of the issue fired up.
Both sides hope the president’s position helps sway votes in their favor when the issue hits Maryland’s ballot this November.
“I think same-sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama said.
When Obama announced that his position on same-sex marriage had evolved, it outraged some African-American pastors like Pastor and Del. Emmett Burns.

I am seventy-nine years old and worked in the public about sixty-nine of those years and I say the blacks are far more strict in their belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. I don't remember ever seeing two black men as a couple or two black women as a couple. They are very staunch in their adverse belief in gay marriage! And I applaud the black Pastors and Priest in boldfly stating this fact!
If it was the black community and black people, who got us into this mess to start with, by “voting for Obama because he is black” then by rights, it should be the black people who by rights, get us out of this same mess. Maybe they can set things right this time, in vast numbers voting against him, “because he is homosexual”. None of this “gay” crap, that word means to be happy. I hope they do the right thing this time. Of course, the white idiots who voted for him, “because he said hope and change”, must also see the “light” and do the right thing also. No more of this “proving how nonracist” they are, for it isn’t racist to despise a thing/infection/disease, because it is detrimental to our nation’s health.
