NAACP Offends the GLBTs
Report for January 31,
2004
Even the ultra-liberal NAACP has managed to get
in trouble with Sodom's speech monitors! Speaking in a Baptist church at
an NAACP function, Dr. Sheila Koger mentioned that children get confused
by "transgenders." For instance, that would be men wearing
dresses, long hair, and perfume. Dr. Koger went so far as to say that the
Bible does not "condone" homosexuality. Again, she made that
remark in a church. Then, for good measure, she gave a very basic
anatomical reminder that women and men are made different by God, which is
why we have women and men. The NAACP has apologized, but sodomite
spokesman Bert Easter says that the apology falls short. Maybe he wants
Dr. Koger to say, "God did create Adam and Steve, not Adam and Eve.
Men do have wombs."
NAACP apologizes for speaker's remarks
By J.R. Gonzales, January 24, 2004
The State (Columbia, SC), http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/local/7785476.htm
A speech earlier this week that criticized homosexuality and transgendered
people was inappropriate, according to the state NAACP.
During a commemorative service Monday honoring Martin Luther King Jr., Dr.
Sheila Koger of Columbia's Bethlehem Baptist Church said that
transgendered people confuse children and that the Bible doesn't condone
homosexuality.
"God said in the beginning he created Adam and Eve, not Adam and
Steve," Koger said Monday. "If you don't got a womb, then you're
a man."
The service at Zion Baptist Church was sponsored by the S.C. chapter of
the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In a statement released Friday, the S.C. NAACP said her comments do not
represent the group.
"The remarks by Dr. Sheila Koger regarding sexual preference did not
represent the views of the NAACP and were inappropriate during a service
designed to bring together the various sectors of the community," the
statement said.
Koger could not be reached for comment Friday night.
Lonnie Randolph Jr., president-elect of the S.C. NAACP, said he was
offended by Koger's speech.
Bert Easter, president of the South Carolina Gay and Lesbian Pride
Movement, welcomed the NAACP's comments, but said it still falls short. He
said it doesn't specifically address the transgender issue.
"They are a part of our society and our community," Easter said.
He would like to discuss Koger's comments with her, but she has not
returned his calls, he said.
