Can you show me where MLK advocated policies to discriminate against gays???Really, then why does he think of homosexuality as a problem that needs to be fixed by a psychiatrist?ALL OF THEM...Yeah? How many of them were out of the closet at the time with MLK?I see you never heard of Bayard Rustin or James Baldwin...or Langston Hughes....all of them gay -- all of them with prominent roles in the civil rights movementThey ALL had conservative values. They were religious men with traditional family values, and they believed in getting ahead with hard work. They didn't want handouts; they just wanted a meritocracy based system. They had far more in common with the right today then the left.
Oh, and let's be completely honest... they hated gays, and they sure as fuck wouldn't be happy about all the Trans stuff, pronouns, etc. They would hate you lefties.
But of course you haven't -- because you never gave a fuck about Civil Rights...
i really suggest you shut the fuck up....
If you really gave a fuck about the civil rights movement - you wouldn't ask these dumb ass questions
He openly discussed homosexuality while writing an advice column for Ebony Magazine in 1958. According to a transcript released by Stanford University, an anonymous boy asked: “My problem is different from the ones most people have.
“I am a boy, but I feel about boys the way I ought to feel about girls. I don’t want my parents to know about me. What can I do? Is there any place where I can go for help?”
Dr King replied: “Your problem is not at all an uncommon one. However, it does require careful attention. The type of feeling that you have toward boys is probably not an innate tendency, but something that has been culturally acquired.
“Your reasons for adopting this habit have now been consciously suppressed or unconsciously repressed.
“Therefore, it is necessary to deal with this problem by getting back to some of the experiences and circumstances that lead to the habit.
“In order to do this I would suggest that you see a good psychiatrist who can assist you in bringing to the forefront of conscience all of those experiences and circumstances that lead to the habit.
“You are already on the right road toward a solution, since you honestly recognise the problem and have a desire to solve it.
This is what Martin Luther King told a gay teen who was struggling with his sexuality in 1958
Lets talk about Ruskin. This quote sure doesnt make King look good.
"At a given point, there was so much pressure on Dr. King about my being gay and particularly because I would not deny it, that he set up a committee to explore whether it would be dangerous for me to continue working with him," Rustin says to the Blade in the interview.
...and then theres this quote from his own daughter, who is a lesbian herself. When asked if King would have supported the LGTBQ community, she said the following.
“No, he would champion the word of God,” she said. “If he would have championed gay rights today, he would have done it while he was here. There was ample opportunity for him to champion gay rights during his lifetime, and he did not do so.”
Ooh, thats the nail in the coffin. You have no argument because you dont know the facts about MLK. Youre welcome for me teaching you about Martin Luther King.
I am straight, I don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle -- because I am straight....and that is where it ends for me...
I still want them to be able to have "EQUAL PROTECTION" under the law...I don't want them banned from the military like conservatives do...I don't them to be denied employment or a place to live, like conservatives do.....
..and thanks for proving my point that there were "OPEN GAYS" fighting along side of King....moron....
MLK was legally a minister of the gospel, but never once conducted a single Gay Marriage, even up through the date of his passing.
BTW, the young poofter who wrote to Dr. King was not an OPEN gay at all. In fact, none of MLK's close associates were men in women's clothing or identified as anything but the sex that Almighty God made them.
