Rev. Bernice King, the youngest child of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, on Friday became the first woman to head the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, co-founded by her father. Rev. Eric Lee, a Freedom to Marry Voice for Equality and the SCLC's Los Angeles chapter president, said in a statement Friday that he hopes King will follow her parents' example with respect to the rights of LGBT people.
