The Reverend William Owens is the president and founder of the
Coalition of African-American Pastors who has been a constant thorn in
President Barack Obama’s side since our commander-in-chief gave his
blessings to same-sex marriage a couple of months ago. At first, Rev.
Owens appeared to be a spectacle that wouldn’t be taken seriously
because of his outlandish views on same-sex “anything”, let alone
same-sex marriage. But there are some assertions from this
self-appointed leader of the “faith and family” values that are worth
contemplating.
On the wrong side of Owens’ argument, he has claimed in the recent past that all homosexual persons – gays and lesbians – were molested as children. How he knows this for sure has not been established and likely never will be since many are saying that isn’t true. He has also made headlines by stating that two people of the same sex having sex together is the same as a person having sex with a dog. Again, how Owens arrives at his bestiality claim is not known – and quite honestly, if he could prove it, most people would probably say “T.M.I.” (too much information), and wouldn’t really want to hear how he arrived at that conclusion.
However, at the NAACP annual convention in Houston, Texas a couple of weeks ago – and since then – Reverend William Owens has made some interesting, non-outlandish statements, that are making people think again about President Barack Obama and the upcoming election.
