... compared to this one from the Washington Blade:
According to Washington, Farrakhan was evasive and non-committal in response
to almost all of the gay leaders’ requests. Rather than offering to allow gay speakers to address the crowd, Farrakhan said he would ask the Millions More executive committee to weigh in, Washington said. When the community leaders asked if they could present the issue to the executive committee themselves, Farrakhan “said no without saying no,” Washington said.
Farrakhan, Washington said, was “passing the buck.”

While Boykin said the meeting was historic and a “huge leap forward,” substantive results did not emerge.
“His tone was very conciliatory, cordial and friendly,” Boykin said. “But he
didn’t really commit to do anything.”
