Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, III of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois wrote a letter to a fellow black clergy who took issue with President Obama’s support of gay marriage. In the letter Rev. Dr. Moss proposes the question, “Should all Americans have the same civil rights?” as a better alternative to whether the church should engage or “perform certain religious rites” or not. Rev. Dr. Moss believes gay marriage is not the issue, but internal marital strife between men and women is the real concern. The Huffington Post has the story:
