"Gay marriage on the rocks" comments

Opinion by Brian Lee of Maryland's Gazette.net "Gay marriage on the rocks"

The same old viewpoint trying to see it purely as gay rights vs. religion, with no thought of the individuals who may not have their mother and father living under the same roof with them. Still an interesting spin,

"Insiders say that P.G. County's black churches turned seven delegates against the same-sex bill, enough to kill it. Many blacks also take offense to the gay lobby's pitch that homosexual marriage and biracial marriage are similar civil rights issues. Biracial marriage is much different from same-sex marriage, say blacks; no religion teaches that biracial marriage is a sin against God.

This clash between the gay lobby and black churches is a white liberal's nightmare. Don't the black churches understand that their job is to endorse Democratic candidates, not religion?

There seems to be a bit of sarcasm here, I don't know the author well enough to read into it. BTW some great comments in there also.
