Probably not ...The Black community's support of President Obama is separate and apart from many issues, including Gay Rights.

Further, the Black community's position, especially that of the Black church, on Gay Rights is complicated to say the least. Being Black and/but not Gay and not particularly religious; but having spent time active in a church, I have always wondered how the Black church can be so anti-Gay rights, when 2/3 of the people standing behind the "Right Reverend Pastor" are Gay.
