BLACK GAY COALITION PLACES MARRIAGE ADS: From the Washington Blade

A national group of black gay leaders began placing full-page ads in African-American newspapers in five cities last week, calling on readers to oppose federal and state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage.

The group, the National Black Justice Coalition, said the ad represents “the first time an African-American gay and lesbian advocacy organization has ever launched a pro-equality ad campaign in African-American newspapers.” ...

The ad includes statements opposing a constitutional ban on gay marriage by Coretta Scott King, wife of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King; Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a veteran civil rights leader; and Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco.
