    Thank you for proving my point.

    King was as bad as any of those ‘Liberals’ when it came to gay rights.

    Completely ignored the gays, because he knew that America in 1963 wasn’t ready to talk about that.

      Dr. King was a preacher in a mid-20th century southern black context. He likely didn’t believe in gay marriage. Hell, Obama only supported “civil unions” in 2004. Most prominent figures on the left were silent on gay rights until relatively recently.

      What point for I prove? Just because someone is wrong about one thing makes them wrong about another?
