Marion Barry, Harry Jackson: Anti-Gay Marriage Rally (Part 1) in Washington, DC
uploaded by MetroWeekly at youtube.com
Bishop Harry Jackson, of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland, held a small rally for his followers (at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC) to protest the unanimous vote by the City Council to recognize same-sex marriages that have been legally performed in other states.
Current City Councilman and former Mayor Marion Barry states here that he is united with the churches against gay marriages, chanting, "No Same-Sex Marriage in DC." He calls himself a moral politician and says that he is for civil unions. His opposition to this bill is surprising to many because he is reported to have co-sponsored the very bill that he is now stating that he is opposed to.
Several other preachers join them and repeatedly call gay marriages a perversion and closely associate gay sex and gay relationships with evil, immoral behavior such as incest and pedophilia. Numerous times Jackson and others say that same-sex marriage has nothing to do with civil rights, and that equating interracial marriage and the civil rights struggle of blacks is wrong and offensive.
Tony Perkins and others appear in Part 2 of this video along with a stunning prayer service directed at the building that houses the City Council.
Bishop Harry Jackson's Anti-Gay Marriage Rally in Washington, DC (Part 2 of 2)

Bishop Harry Jackson, of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland, held a small rally for his followers (at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC) to protest the unanimous vote by the City Council to recognize same-sex marriages that have been legally performed in other states.
Several other preachers join them and repeatedly call gay marriages a perversion and closely associate gay sex and gay relationships with evil, immoral behavior such as incest and pedophilia. Numerous times Jackson and others say that same-sex marriage has nothing to do with civil rights, and that equating interracial marriage and the civil rights struggle of blacks is wrong and offensive.
This video features Family Research Council President, Tony Perkins, telling the crowd that he discusses gay marriage with his children at the dinner table, and purposefully confuses same-sex marriage with the separate debate over the use of public bathrooms by pre-operative transgenders people.
Several Hispanic and one Asian preacher show up briefly to declare marriage as between one man and a woman and that they will stand with Jackson's mostly African-American church at the City Council meeting on May 5, because the Council's expansion of marriage rights to same-sex couples is offensive and against their interpretation of Jesus' wishes and the Bible.
One preacher states that the state has no business in marriage. Another stutters that gay sex needs to be clearly explained to everyone's children because the though makes everyone sick to their stomach. "Children," "boys," and "girls" are repeatedly brought into these preacher's political speeches at the rally. They state that children need to be protected from the school systems because, as they claim, the children are being taught about gay marriage, and more specifically using the books "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "King and King" to do so.
Please also see Part 1 of this video to witness the use of "We Shall Overcome" as the anthem against gay marriage, Marion Barry chanting "No Same-Sex Marriage in DC," and other truly stunning statements.
