SSM AND SCAPEGOATING: Tom Sylvester...Perhaps Mr. Jackson has been concerned with father absence for years, but the link between same-sex marriage and high rates of father absence among blacks is incredibly tenuous. Given poverty, unemployment, incarceration, discrimination, education, out-of-wedlock childbearing, and so on, the import of same-sex marriage is miniscule. It's sad to see some (by no means most, of course) black church leaders jump on the anti-gay bandwagon. There are many complex reasons behind the fact that two-thirds of black babies are born out of wedlock, but the "homosexual agenda" isn't one of them. This is classic scapegoating.
