in my hometown:http://t.co/2nMXcaup

I'm a black woman who is ACTIVE in the black community and what the preachers and community leaders are doing is clarifying that A1 ISN'T just about Gay marriage which is already illegal but how it will affect EVERYONE.

This is what should have been done in the beginning. I've heard pastors was using the example of grandmothers raising their grand babies and how this passage will negatively affect benefits.
Don't know if you have been in a black church but it is filled with older Black women and some of those women are raising their kids kids for whatever reason.


Oh and this npr article is some bullsh&t! If A1 passes the black community can not be blamed.
