The mudslinging is simply awful. Jesse Jackson is a very tolerant individual and I have no doubt that he is mostly supportive of gay rights. However, he remains a minister, warts and all. Jesse Jackson is simply expressing his view and that of most black ministers regarding this issue. As an African American and a Baptist, I believe you will find very few black ministers who will support the idea of gay marriage. They would support laws banning discrimination against gays in most areas, but not when it comes to gay marriage. They believe that their religion does not support marriage between people of the same sex.
