The Family Leader, a notorious anti-gay group has backtracked on their "Marriage Vow". Apparently they are taking too much flack for their bumbled wording about African American families.
“...sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President.”
Even conservatives were wary of signing a document this wacky. Now the Family Leader has tried to cover their tracks with this statement:
“After careful deliberation and wise insight and input from valued colleagues we deeply respect, we agree that the statement referencing children born into slavery can be misconstrued, and such misconstruction can detract from the core message of the Marriage Vow: that ALL of us must work to strengthen and support families and marriages between one woman and one man. We sincerely apologize for any negative feelings this has caused, and have removed the language from the vow.”
Strengthen marriage? Well the rest of the pledge includes condemning Sharia law, downsizing government, keeping gays out of the military, and stopping illegal immigration. Sounds a whole lot more like a GOP platform than a vow to protect marriage. More from the SPLC on this bunch,
who aligns themselves with the hate-group, the AFA.(American Family Association)
