Gay Inclusive?
Crowds gather for Millions More Movement
"Despite anti-gay statements by Farrakhan and other march organizers, Cleo Manago of Black Men's Exchange, which calls itself a group for black men of "diverse sexual/intimate expression," briefly addressed the crowd.
Benjamin Chavis, a march organizer, said gay participants attended and "are welcome here today."
Okay, now I have read another story that said that the gay groups weren't allowed to speak even though they were invited. Which do I believe? The one above from CNN or this one from a gay website. Wait. After further review they were speakers from different gay groups. I wonder why one would be allowed but not the other one.
