Democratic Platform Committee Pushes Ahead with Same-sex Marriage Plank While Black Pastors Denounce

 Christian Post: Gay Marriage to Be Included in Democratic Party Platform "It will be the first time in history that either the Democratic or Republican Party has supported anything other than the traditional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman. The historical news was first reported by the Washington Blade and confirmed by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who recently wed his same-sex partner."


Newsbusters  "Last weekend in a meeting in Minneapolis, the Democratic convention's platform committee unanimously voted to plow ahead with a pro-same-sex marriage amendment that will call for the repeal of the Bill Clinton-signed Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). News of this development broke yesterday. The exact language of the platform plank is yet to be hammered out but should be available in a few weeks."
...."ABC, CBS, and NBC all failed to cover either development on their July 31 evening newscasts or August 1 morning news programs."


Hypocritical CNN Downplays Gay Agenda -- When Obama Is Under Fire for It
"And CNN believes gay rights is quite an important matter, considering the positive coverage they give to gay rights activists:" 
  • Gay activists fighting the Boy Scouts' ban on openly-gay scouts and den leaders received encouragement and downright sappy interviews from CNN.
  •  CNN hailed openly-gay Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) as a gay "pioneer"    while badgering social conservative Tony Perkins over why homosexuals "bother" him "so much."
  • CNN compared nominating a gay activist to a state's judiciary with desegregation.
  • CNN has boosted gay rights activists in their fight to win public favor on "marriage equality."
  • Anchor Don Lemon compared Mitt Romney defending traditional marriage to former Governor George Wallace pushing for segregation.
"Shortly after President Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage, CNN's guests favoring gay marriage outnumbered those opposed five to one. The network continued its brazenly pro-gay coverage into the evening."
