Black Pastors Group Launches Anti-Obama Campaign around Gay Marriage
posted on August 2, 2012A group of black pastors are campaigning against President Obama’s reelection because of Obama’s support for same-sex marriage, reports CNN’s Dan Merica. The effort comes at a time when a “Pew Research Center poll conducted in April found that 49 percent of African-Americans oppose legalized same-sex marriage,” Merica writes. Rev. Williams Owens, the leader of the campaign, says Obama is “ignoring the people that put him in the White House.”
