Earlier today, I came across an interesting and helpful article by pastor Vodie Baucham. In this article entitled “Gay Is Not the New Black,” Baucham eloquently refutes the all-too-popular claim that the campaign for legalization of same-sex marriage is essentially the same as the Civil Rights Movement for racial equality. Baucham carefully unpacks the logic behind the “gay is the new black” position and exposes the inconsistencies therein. I completely agree with Baucham’s position, and I find his article compelling.

If you have ever read this blog before, you may remember that I wrote an article in which I attempt to refute the supposed link between same-sex marriage and civil rights. I approach the topic from a slightly different angle than Baucham, but I arrive at the same conclusion—gay is not the new black. If you are interested, you can check out my article here.
