Just when it looked like Barack Obama had gotten away from the controversy surrounding his long-term association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a new anti-gay minister pops out of the closet.
Rev. James T. Meeks, an Illinois state senator who serves as the pastor of Chicago's Salem Baptist Church, has also reportedly been an active member of the Gatekeepers network which advocates a ban on gay marriage, and was named by Southern Poverty Law Center as one of the top "10 leading black religious voices in the anti-gay movement".
While it seems that Meeks is a very busy man, he has reportedly taken time out of his schedule to act as spiritual advisor for Obama. The close relationship with Meeks will no doubt lead many to question his platform of change and equal treatment for all citizens.
