SHOCKER: Bernice “My Pappy Didn’t Take No Bullet For Sissies” King Now Suddenly Likes Gay Folk!
Or at least she’s starting to see the light. Last time we wrote about Martin Luther King’s youngest chile she was distancing herself but fast from Bishop Eddie Long as we covered in our post Bernice King Says It Was ‘Holy Spirit’ Who Told Her To Haul Azz From Eddie Long Church.
Now according to GAvoice, Miss King is actually reaching out to gays ‘n’ lez folk in her latest public speaking ventures.
Bernice King took the stage today at Atlanta’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. rally and included gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people among the various groups she said need to come together to fulfill her father’s legacy.
In a passionate, sermon-like speech about building unity, King said she didn’t care if people were Hindu, Buddhist, Islamist, were from the North side or the South side, were black or white, were “heterosexual or homosexual, or gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender” — that all people were needed to create unity.
LGBT people who attended the rally said they were shocked that King – who has a long anti-gay past — actually acknowledged the community in a public speech, but said they were also glad because it shows people can evolve.
Wow. Well hardly a tear drenched message of regret for her previous harsh words for homos nonetheless it is a start.
