Civil rights legend Martin Luther King "did not take a bullet for same-sex marriage", according to his daughter Bernice King, who flew all the way from the US at the weekend to endorse the rulership/dominion/possession political mandate of the Destiny Church. Bernice King's mother, Coretta Scott King had earlier refused along with the King Centre to endorse the Destiny Church, but Bernice is a Baptist minister on a mission. She said she had come to New Zealand with the words of her father ringing in her ears: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to injustice everywhere” and “immorality anywhere is a threat immorality everywhere”. Martin Luther King's closest advisor, Bayard Rustin, was gay.
