Leaders say civil rights, gay agenda different

ARLINGTON, Texas — Several hundred black Christians gathered on the steps of city hall in Arlington, Texas, to show their opposition to same-sex “marriages” and to comparisons between the homosexual rights movement of today and the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

Leaders of the “Not on My Watch Rally” compared their mission to that of a story in Ezekiel 3. In that story, God made Ezekiel the watchman for the people of Israel to sound the alarm of coming judgment.

Six pastors and leaders from different denominations took the stage to explain the groups’ reasoning for their stance against the homosexual activists’ movement in America.

Howard Caver, Dallas-area pastor Terrance Autrey and Dwight McKissic, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church and president of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention’s Pastors Conference, recently began meeting out of concern over the direction of the country concerning same-sex “marriages.”

The three men founded the Not on My Watch Coalition to sound the alarm about the dangers of homosexual “marriage.” Several speakers discussed what the future holds if homosexuals are allowed to marry.  (TAB)
