NAACP's Bond fights gay marriage ban

The citizen initiative banning gay marriage isn't officially on the November 2008 ballot yet, but opponents aren't bothering to wait.

Julian Bond, the civil rights leader and longtime national chairman of the NAACP has taped an Internet ad on behalf of Fairness for All Families, the coalition organizing to oppose the citizen initiative.

Bond, calling himself a full-time Florida property owner and a part-time resident, notes in the ad that the "NAACP doesn't have any position for or against same sex marriage," but that the group has "opposed every constitutional attempt or amendment to create these divisions among people based on their sexual orientation."

The measure "is divisive. It's harmful. It does not bring people together, it drives them apart," Bond said. (The advertisement can be seen here.)

Thank you, Mr. Bond.

Next thing you know they are going to want their own schools!!!!

So… what… the NAACP is backing homertesticles and lesbotarians? So who’s keeping them down… The Man, The Woman, or The Bi-Freak?

good for Julian ..This gay GOP feather bedding gotta stop..Well unless you are dumb enough to vote for pastor Huckleberry..

The issue is a tempest in a teapot. No right-minded gay or lesbian wants any partner to get their claws into his assets. A few do, but most dont.

The issue is a lot like a few women howling for the right to be in combat like the guys.
