The October 2011 issue of EBONY drops today. Included is our first report for the magazine "Making It Work: Black Same Sex Couples Raising Kids in the South." The article is page 80 of the print edition.
Also make sure you read the "Gay Marriage Debate" at Ebony.com.
Thanks to all who helped with the report, including Rev. Kevin E. Taylor, Bishop Tonyia Rawls, Unity Fellowship Charlotte and the Williams Institute at UCLA Law School.
Congrats Rod!

WOW!!!
How amazing is this!?!?!
First, a cover story on BLACK ENTERPRISE and then, almost quietly in July, JET magazine features a lesbian couple's wedding photo in their wedding section and now THIS!
When we stand up and show ourselves, we can't be ignored because you cannot ignore truth.
Bravo, Rod2.0 for this great feature! THANKFUL TO BE AN EBONY SUBSCRIBER!!!!

I detest Ebony...but I'll pick up a few copies(well...as much as my flimsy grad school budget will allow) to support you.
Congrats.

Ironic that mary is on the cover after her remarks regarding gay marriage in NY.

Thanks, Rod.
At first I wasn't open to reading Ebony.com's debate on Gay Marriage b/c our people can tend to be even more homophobic and religiously biased than the rest of the nation. But I would love to be proven wrong here, so I'm reading all I can and picking up a copy of Ebony-which I usually never buy. BTW, Mary J. looks awesomely fierce on the cover - loving her and how far she's come!

@CJ, what were her comments?

@ CJ: What "comments" did MJB make about marriage equality in NYS? MJB is a big supporter of LGBT rights, supported marriage equality in California and raised millions to fight Prop 8. -RM
