I just know that whenever the President said he was in favor of gay marriage, most black pastors came out strongly opposed to this. I figured, well, if Al Sharpton is a black pastor, then maybe he is against it. I'm glad to see he is not.

Funny thing, Manny Pacquiao, the boxer and congressman from the Philippines said that Obama's statement was an attack on the will of God.
