A first-hand report from outside of the McClurkin concert

BlackTsunami took part in the South Carolina Gay and Lesbian Pride Movement’s vigil that was held outside Columbia’s Township Auditorium:

A black woman who stood in line for the concert marched over to us and declared:

“God made man for woman and woman for man.”

She said a couple of other things of a Biblical nature (how homosexuality is ugly in God’s sight, blah blah blah), but I tuned her out. I have learned that little trick over the years.

The ironic thing is that if this vigil was held in the 1950s, the subject would be about segregation and her role would be played by a white person claiming that the “separation of the races” was Biblically mandated.
