CNN political analyst Roland Martin laughably claims he
was talking about soccer fans -- not gay men -- when he tweeted
messages during the Super Bowl which now have the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance Against Defamation and the National Black Justice Coalition calling for him to be fired.
But a look at Martin's history shows what group he clearly was
referring to when he tweeted, "Ain't no real bruhs going to H&M to
buy some damn David Beckham underwear!" and "If a dude at your Super
Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack
the ish out of him!"
That's because for a long time Roland Martin has viewed gays as a
group that, figuratively speaking, need the "ish" kicked out of them --
as in having a preacher "bowl down your alley."
I'll explain that, but first, let's not forget that this is a man who came to Tracy Morgan's defense
when the comedian said he'd kill his own kid if he was gay. Though a
Democratic political analyst and supporter of President Obama, Martin's
been on the wrong side of gay rights in just about every debate, even saying "thanks" to the Miss USA pageant loser, Carrie Prejean, for coming out against same-sex marriage in 2009.
