    obsydavis

    Vallejo, California mayor Osby Davis is on the hot seat for anti-gay comments published in the New York Times article titled, Faith and Tolerance Collide in Vallejo. In the article, Davis comments “They’re committing sin and that sin will keep them out of heaven.” Davis further referred to Vallejo as a “city of God.”

    Davis has since apologized for his statement and claims it was taken out of context. He now states he will not discuss his faith with anybody anymore. Davis’ apology may not be enough for many members of the LGBT community in Vallejo. One gay resident, Charles Legalos, stated, “I would like to hear him explain in what context those comments would be appropriate coming from a public official.”

    Openly gay bishop Father Lou Bordisso is organizing a protest against Davis for violating the separation of church and state. Bordisso has called for a peaceful protest rally to be held on Tuesday, December 1st at 6:15 p.m. on the steps of Vallejo City Hall.

    Ex-gay pastor Donnie McClurkin delivered a sermon at the COGIC 102nd International Holy Convocation in Memphis, Tennessee last Saturday (November 7). During his sermon, he took shots at openly gay gospel singer Tonex and talks of how those of his generation have failed today’s youth, allowing them to fall prey to the perversions of homosexuality.

    At one point, he implored homosexual youth to run down to the front of the stage and repent. (See 3rd video below).  Damn near half the congregation made their way down front.  smh.

    This type of condemnation of homosexuality is no surprise coming from Donnie McClurkin.   He’s built his career on it.

    clergy-call

    More than 300 gay-friendly clergy members from all across the U.S. descended upon Captiol Hill to encourage lawmakers to pass LGBT rights legislation, in a movement called “Clergy Call.” Clergy Call, in its second year, is an event sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign which calls on religious leaders to stand for equality . This year’s clergy represented Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhist.

    So what was on their gay agenda?

    donnie-mcclurkin

    Pastor Donnie McClurkin has spoken very publicly in the past about his struggle with homosexuality and being cured “delivered” from his homosexual ways. So that’s nothing new. What has garnered him new attention is a recent interview with Carrington Lei, wherein McClurkin likens his suppressed homosexuality to battling diabetes. Huh? Exactly!

    Now we all know those “ex-gay” camps and ministries are nothing more than a bunch of self-hating gays who got together and decided that because they’re not comfortable in their own skin, they’ll just go ahead and screw with the heads of vulnerable gay and lesbian men and women. We all do know that, right? Ok!

    Well, from McClurkin’s interview with Lei, all I got was: 1) McClurkin doesn’t take kindly to parishioners who disagree with his stance on homosexuality, and 2) McClurkin wants some man-loving but is skurred. Hey, that’s just my interpretation.

    Check out the interview for yourself: Read the rest of this entry »

    kanye-london-denim

    Kanye’s not letting this economy stunt his swag, it’s obvious. So why stop at a luxury sneaker collection? According to UK’s Mirror, Kanye met with the higher ups at Religion clothing “to get inspiration for a new jeans label he is launching.” It’s unclear whether the denim is for his upcoming Pastelle label or whether the two plan to collaborate.

    Could this be why Kanye has been seen wearing a lot of denim lately? ..::rubbing chin::.. JEANIUS!!
