The recent passage of the gay rights bill in the state legislature has provoked a debate within the African American community about whether gay rights are akin to the African-American civil rights movement of the 1960s. Dr. Ken Hutcherson, Pastor at Redmond`s Antioch Bible Church, is an outspoken opponent of gay rights and takes strenuous issue with the equation of the two movements. King County Executive Ron Sims (son of a Baptist minister and lay minister himself) just as vigorously takes the opposite point of view and has explicitly linked the two causes. These two influential black leaders take up the issue in a moderated debate. ***AUDIO ONLY***
