She’s a horror and a cow.

And Alvin McEwen is just magnificent.

“… we can be compassionate without endorsing sin(?).”
I would tell Ms King that the claim that “homosexuality is sin” was deemed unworthy of repetition by the editor of Biblelore.com when he corrected Pat Robertson (see Christian Pastors Preach Untruths) who no longer claims that canard on television. It was forever destroyed by John Boswell’s expose of the original Hebrew text of Leviticus 18:22 (Christianity, Homosexuality and Social Tolerance).

Ms. King also conveniently does not mention the fact that Corretta Scott King’s personal assistant for some two decades was an openly gay man by the name of Lyn Cotherin. I’ve heard him speak. Alveda is just a tad short of the facts. And I remember when she was Alveda King Beall!

“her daughter, my cousin Elder Bernice King” is even less of an authority. She was five when her father was murdered.

Otherwise no one would ever listen to her. Nor should we.

I think there is a tension in that statement. It’s true that “>Otherwise no one would ever listen to her.” But because of those accidental and secondary bloodlines, many people do. And because many people do, so should we — and be there to counter her when she’s not being truthful.

It just dawned on me that when she talks about showing compassion in the face of controversy, she is not talking about her being compassionate to gay people. She’s talking about gay people being “compassionate” to her.

@Timothy. Good point. I’m guessing, at age 11, when the March on Washington was held, and Dr. King was working so closely with Mr. Rustin, I’m guessing Alveda was not one of Uncle M. L.’s closest confidantes and advisors.

Alveda is tired, powerless, homophobic bitch, and always has been. Because of her accidental and secondary blood relationship to MLK she is able to draw attention whenever she attacks the GLBT community. Otherwise no one would ever listen to her. Nor should we.

Notice how she refers to compassion toward gay people as “misplaced compassion”.

Uncle M. L. did not agree, and would not attach the homosexual agenda to the 20th century civil rights struggles.

That would be the homosexual agenda in the 1960′s? And this woman, who was 16 when King was murdered, wants us to believe that she had some inside perspective on King that his wife didn’t have?

I have to wonder if she’s a blatant liar or completely delusional.
