JET
magazine makes a very bold and progressive move by featuring its first same
gender couple in their December 10th issue as part of their JET LOVE wedding
series. The featured couple is Dr. Ravi Perry and Paris Prince.
The couple was married at their home in Worcester,
Massachusetts. Mr. Prince is a licensed real estate broker and
anti-discrimination compliance expert and Dr. Perry is an Assistant Professor
of Political Science at Mississippi State University.
Perry and Prince shared that,
“We are excited and honored to have our
wedding featured in the historic yet ever-current JET Magazine. Long the
hallmark in publishing news, culture, and events pertaining to the Black
American experience, Jet’s publishing of our union is historic.”
If you grew up in the African-American community then you
know one of the media staples was JET magazine. Jet magazines can be
historically found at any barbershop or salon. Many of us grew up with the
featured beauty of the week, stories of African-American news and events and
especially the marriage engagements.
While so many within the African-American community
struggle with the concept of same gender couples and gay marriage it is again
very progressive of JET magazine to take such a bold step in doing their part
in supporting equality among other marginalized groups like the gay community.
I am sure there will be some dissenters against JET’s
decision but hopefully, the more common place this becomes within the
African-American community, the less controversial it will feel.

The shew of their
countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom,
they hide [it] not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto
themselves.

If a man also lie
with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an
abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon
them.

And there were also
sodomites in the land: [and] they did according to all the abominations of
the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

And Asa did [that
which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father.
|
|
|
And he took away the
sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had
made.

Praise GOD like Bro Malak said a while back let the healing began. The more you stay in an abomination the worse it gets to get out of that demon. Like the way you brought some scripture with the article.
