I wish I had written this or at least had the opportunity to use this in my classes. You have more than gratified and impressed this former history teacher and for that I thank you!
Moral dilemmas, who has not had them? Bayard and Martin formed the Southern Christian Leadership Convention while Martin was a pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church as well as on the Executive of the NAACP. They would have worked closely together.
His advice to a young man while segregation and homosexuality were prohibited by law was possible a kind way of sheltering the lad from social approbation. Martin grew up in a secure family and neighborhood. The same cannot be assumed for the young man. Who at 29 years old would advise another to be exposed to violence?
MLK acknowledged homosexuality As a problem that needed to be resolved and as an ACQUIRED habit, which it absolutely IS.
Please note that the homosexual inmate was also AWARE and self-aware in recognizing that his romantic and sexual feelings & intetests toward other men was unnatural & wrong and needed to be corrected.
He was obviously unhappy living his life as a gay man, recognized that being gay was not simply a part of his DNA and wanted OUT. He also recognized that LGBTQ PLUS lifestyle as a sin. Else he would not have reached out to a man of God.
Many Christians are not hateful in the way the way we deal with homosexuality. However, there is such a bias against ALL Christians for believing the bible that we are cast out as evil and judgmental by the LGBTQ PLUS community for refusing to go-along to get-along.
It's mainly based on the persecution complex shared by multiple members of the LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY.
However, simply believing what the Bible says about marriage and relations solely being between a man and a woman is not hatred. Many of our response to this issue would have been the same as MLK. He did not CODEMN or CONDONE this inmates gay lifestyle and encouraged him to seek professional help in order to help him figure out how the habit of liking men began. It was the right thing to do.
King's response was accurate, loving, Godly and brilliant. He was painfully aware LGBTQ PLUS lifestyle is an abomination to God and that it encouraging it would have been to this young man's detriment.
AIDS is not a gay man's disease. However, it IS an ANAL SEX disease ( that can be acquired by heterosexual couples as well). This is what makes homosexuality unnatural and dangerous. God only intended for sexual relations and feelings to be between a man and a woman. MLK should not be 'canceled" for speaking the truth.
Thankyou! I wish all of the visitors to our museum, had read this article, before they stepped over our threshold. The problem with most is innocence of history in general. I’m sure that every generation is served a different version. The trick is to hook them into asking more questions, that eventually put them into the shoes of the time.
Horse Feathers! Suggesting the young man see a shrink is no a declaration of sickness, but an effort to help the young man take a more realistic look at his desires. Dr King did the right thing for those days as well as these days. Who really knows where the feelings come from or when they begin.
The feelings come DIRECTLY from Satan through whispered lies. GOD knows and he warned against it. Jesus WAS NOT gay and he DOESNOT condone the lifestyle contrary to wishful thinking.
And what about Canada's first Prime Minister? The list goes long of the use of presentism to denigrate many historical figures important to Canada's being.

Marvellous. The best sort of compliment. Thank you.
Historical context IS everything, not just for historians. Think Tchaikovsky, Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci .... on and on ..... mumble mumble
