CNN anchor Don Lemon hosted a program Saturday on black men in the age of Barack Obama. He introduced the subject of gay rights, saying, "This is one issue where the president may not enjoy unified support from African-Americans."

Lemon chatted with a panel of African-American men, who devote much of their discussion in the clip below to the issue of the "down low," and church attitudes about gay people.

Lemon also revealed that CNN is preparing a program about being gay in America, styled on its popular "Black in America" special.
