Adam Serwer on the D.C. gay-rights movement’s ties to the African American community:
The anti-gay-rights movement has long sought to use the relative religiosity of the black community to marshal its support. Anti-marriage-equality leaders often cite the results of Proposition 8 in California, which was supported by a majority of African American voters in the state, as proof that the black community as a whole is against gay marriage.
There’s only one problem: The face of LGBT leadership in D.C. is often black.
