meeting of minds in atlanta
Leslie Fulbright, San Francisco Chronicle
A landmark meeting of African American clergy and members of the
gay and lesbian community that began January 19, 2005 in Atlanta is
th e keystone of an effort to promote the acceptance of gays in black
churches. The Rev. Al Sharpton from New York and Bishop Yvette
Fl under of San Francisco's City of Refuge United Church of Christ in
the South of Market area are headlining the Black Church Summit organized by the National Black Justice Coa liti on .
The gathering, at the First lconium Baptist Church near downtown
Atlanta, will feature films, discussions on acceptance and a look at
how homophobia in churches is promoting the "down-low" phenomenon - men having sex with other men while maintaining a heterosexual identity.
"The summ it will let us have an open, honest and mobilized way to
say to black ministers that we have to start talking about gay people
in their churches," said Mandy Carter, a lesbian activist in North Carolina who plans to attend . "Th is is the first time we have high-profile
people having this conversation ."
The involvement of well-known black politicians and church leaders
has given new inspiration to the National Black Justice Coalition, the
country's largest black gay civil rights group. The Washington coalition, which has been trying to promote just this kind of dialogue for
years, says the summit is especially important because of the large
number of black clergy across the country who support bans on
same-sex marriage.
The church plays more than a religious role in most black commun ities, serving as a social gathering place and often dictating the politics
of its parishioners. Activists say anti-gay sentiment grew in 2004 because white conservative Christian groups rallied black ministers
against gay marriage. Many believe this bond between white evangelicals and black pastors helped President Bush get 11 percent of the
African American vote that year.
"The Karl Roves of the world wrote an agenda on how to mobilize the
African American vote, and part of that was to suggest the vote
aga inst same-gender marriage," Flunder said, referring to Bush's top
political adviser. Flunder is one of a handful of Bay Area black clergy
who support same-sex marriage.
Th ough the NAACP has vocally supported gay rights , the group has
not taken a stand on same-sex marriage. Executive Chairman Julian
Bond has, however, compared opposition to same-sex marriage to
bans on interracial marriage.
Sharpton, who has been politically active in New York for decades,
became involved in the debate over the acceptance of gays and lesbians in black churches during his most recent run for president. He
openly supported same-sex marriage, and then in August, he announced plans for an educational initiative to challenge homophobia
in churches. In addition to participating in discussions like thi s one,
Sharpton plans to make public-service announcements and talk in
schools.
