Rev. William Owens, president of the NOM front organization known as the Coalition of African-American Pastors, spoke at today’s March for Marriage where he declared that he had participated in “the real civil rights movement” and “didn’t march one yard, one foot for the same sex to get married.”
Saying that the push for marriage equality is nothing but a “bully movement,” Owens declared that the fight against gay marriage is the modern civil rights movement and, as such, activists must refuse to comply with laws recognizing it and be willing to go to jail if necessary.
“Remember,” Owens said, “it took two hundred and some years for the blacks to get their freedom; it will take us time but we can’t do it just making speeches and talking, we got to show our force to America, we’ve got to let these politicians know, these weak-kneed, back-kneed, slimy backed politicians from the president on down know that we will not take it any more”:
