Southern Black Pastor is taken to task by Cary Harrison on whether gay is a choice.

"Is Gay the new Black?" was the topic yesterday on the buzzing blogtalk radio show Hot Topics hosted by Toni Breedlove and things really livened up when Pastor Ray one of the show's co-hosts called in to make a comment.  Political talk show host of the Smart Show and journalist Cary Harrison was not taking any pulpit bullying.

Recording artist LaMont Wheat also responded to pastor Ray's statement that "all blacks should be insulted by the topic" saying that he was indeed, "black and not insulted at all" and that "many are taught to believe a certain way and we are blinded by beliefs when we can not see that our beliefs cause harm and hurt".

-------

ABOUT the topic:
There are so many opinions and beliefs on whether or not the Civil Rights Movement (1955 – 1968) can be compared to the fight for civil rights of Gay and Lesbian Americans.

Although many of us have our opinions, a great majority of African Americans feel there is no comparison to the fight of Gay Americans, and the fight of African American’s Civil Rights Movement.

Well, on this very controversial and highly charged episode, we’re going to this discuss the comparisons with Special Guests, R&B Artist, LaMont Wheat, and Talk Show Host & Journalist, Cary Harrison.

Check out how it all went down here:  Pastor Ray vs Cary Harrison
