Farrakhan invites us all to the Millions More Movement Rally

Well folks, it now appears that Minister Louis Farrakhan has decided to extend an invitation to black gays and lesbians everywhere to take part in the Millions More Movement on October 15th in Washington, DC. This invitation was extended by his inclusion of the National Black Justice Coalition as a co-convener, which allows that organization to be involved in the planning processes. This invitation is in stark contrast to the tone set by Rev. Willie Wilson, who is the Executive Director of the event. As you might recall we wrote about Rev. Wilson a few weeks ago and his blazing anti-lesbian sermon delivered from his pulpit. While this invitation to join the event is rather late, and some may question the ministers motives it really does not matter much, because whether anyone knows it or not there where already tens of thousands of black same gender loving males already planning to be in attendance. What this action does is provides a public presentation of our presence. Also, the NBJC has requested that the organizers allow a gay male and a lesbian to speak at the event. At this point I do not believe that particular request has been granted. The NBJC and other black gay organizations are still planning to have our own rally at 8:00 AM in DC's Freedom Plaza on the day of Millions More. I hope to see lots of you guys there!
