I also agree that it was religious, but I think you're missing one piece of the puzzle Phil, culturally homosexuality is not accepted within the Black community.

We need to incorporate the cultural climate as well as the religious.

Not all blacks subscribe to the religious or cultural aspects of their community, but we need to recognize the religious and cultural biases within the Black community and not just lie the bias of homosexuality at the feet of the religious.
