Default 'The New Black' Documentary

Here's a link to the Huffington Post article.

"Is gay marriage a civil right like black equality? Or is it a sin African-Americans should condemn? That’s the question at the heart of “The New Black,” a documentary by filmmaker Yoruba Richen that examines African-American attitudes toward LGBT people leading up to Maryland’s public referendum on gay marriage in 2012."

I actually felt really uncomfortable reading this, it tore open some old wounds in regards to my relationship with organised religion and the Black community in general. The first line was enough to make my stomach turn. I haven't watched the documentary, and I'm not sure if there's link to the documentary or if it's only being shown in historically Black colleges or if it's available on any other media.
