California NAACP President, Alice Huffman
I came across this Democratic discussion board and found it sad that California NAACP President Alice Huffman would speak to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Caucus and sell out the Black community.
Alice Huffman, president of the CA NAACP, spoke to the LGBT Caucus and stood with our community in strong support of marriage equality. Her stirring words in support of LGBT rights and solidarity amongst all civil rights communities moved each of us.
And I have it from several sources that the NAACP has suffered significant membership losses in California and Nationally. Clearly Huffman implied as much in her remarks to the LGBT Caucus.
The recent endorsement and support of gay and lesbian marriage by CA NAACP has not been without costs. Some members have left the CA NAACP in protest.
That word “some” is an understatement for “Many”. And as Blacks leave the NAACP, Huffman has had to go trolling in the LGBT community for members.
In her presentation to the LGBT Caucus, Alice Huffman asked that her brothers and sisters in the LGBT community join the CA NAACP to show how strongly our communities support one another and our issues.
We would strongly encourage members of Alice to take this message of support and coalition building to heart and join the CA NAACP this week.
The NAACP National Convention is coming up in July. It will be interesting to see if Julian Bond (a supporter of same sex marriage) will let the CA NAACP resolution see the light of day.
We’ll be watching!
