They’re usually the ones who hate GLBT people otherwise.

I still cringe at the thought that actual people think the King James is the best or even original version. You know, the “If the King James was good enough for Jesus and Paul it was good enough for me!” crowd.

How can that be that people think that? It says right in the front of any copy of the KJV I’ve ever seen, when it was compiled, and that was a LONG time after Jesus or Paul!

Leviticus 20:13

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. There blood shall be upon them*.”

*this does not applieth to vehemently anti-gay pastors.

burn.

But sadly, I suspect his congregation will choose to look the other way.

Seems kind of creepy, really. But then I remember watching Jesus Camp and how creepy Ted Haggard was in that.

Seems like a lot of those guys usually just are.

It’s easy for him to make TOKEN gestures of charitable organizing, and pocket the lion’s share of contributions for himself with no shame at all.
But rather, ‘I’m entitled because I did all this for y’all’.

When Long said even if the Klan was against gay marriage, he could side with the Klan, made me throw up. This coming from a man who officiated at the funeral of one of our most powerful allies, Coretta S. King.

And now this. No, I’m not surprised. TD Jakes and his gay son are another example of the damage done by the closet. Especially to the credibility of gay people who reach positions of wealth and power to further the agendas of the anti gay. These highly popular and influential black spiritual leaders, are just as increasingly showing their hypocrisy and contradictions in morality.

Rather than have a discussion on the closet, and how it compromises honesty and the ability for people to learn from each other, the arrogance of straight people like this who belong to these churches, will place all the blame, shame and lack of integrity on the gay person.
An obviously unfair indictment. And coming FROM black people who so quickly forget the chains of passing for what one is not to avoid and escape injustice and systemic bigotry.
