Donnie McClurkin Calls Gays "Vampires", Rants Against Tonex and Gay Youth at COGIC

[ccharles000]

Donnie McClurkin ramps up the ridiculous to speak in tongues and call gays "vampires". The infamously "ex-gay"—or should we say merely "re-closeted"—Grammy Award winning gospel singer and evangelist rants against gays, gay youth and recently out gospel singer Tonex at the Church of God in Christ's Holy Convocation Youth Service. This happened last Saturday at the COGIC convention in Memphis.

In the first of three disgusting YouTube videos, McClurkin begins his rant against Tonex, the gospel star who recently confirmed his long-rumored sexuality. McClurkin says Tonex is a "perversion" and must pray away the gay: "God did not call young people to such peversion. Society has failed him, his church has failed him ... I would be homosexual to this day if Jesus hadn't delivered."

McClurkin also rails against openly gay youth as "broken and feminine": "I see feminine men, feminine boys, everywhere I go ... No, don't applaud 'cuz it ain't funny. It's because we failed. I see them everywhere."

Quite rich coming from McClurkin. If anyone has seen him or the young men in his inner circle, well, let's say the observation about "feminine men everywhere" is spot-on.

In the second video, McClurkin turns his hate toward young lesbians: "These young girls are just as bad as the boys in homosexuality, you don't see it. They can hide ... but there are some evil young hard butch girls."

1. I love it; a professional godmonger accusing someone else of being a vampire

[Toasterlad]

2. How About a Big Hand For Obama's Emcee, Ladies and Gentlemen?

[Fumesucker]

3. Yaaaayyy!!1!!11!!

If we clap loud enough no one will notice McClurkin is a raging bigot.

9. We just need to reach out to him some more, that's all. n/t

16. meow

[MuseRider]

12. My first reaction as well.

Never mind, I just erased what I was going to say. It is not worth the grief here where nobody who does not already agree will just call names. As odd as it seems in this time, after all the work and progress we now need to start educating "our own" about bigotry.

[ccharles000]

13. I agree

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. Well if gays are vampires, then Donnie's not only in the closet

...but in the coffin too!

[msongs]

5. he seems to be preoccupied with gays - what about peace and love and helping poor? nt

[NMMNG]

11. That's not the RRRW Christian Way

They aren't about love, peace and helping the poor. They're about destroying LGBT people and gaining complete control of women's sexuality + reproductive systems. There ain't no Christ in this Christianity.

6. I thought fundies were all about Vampires nowadays.

Using them as metaphors for their simmering, repressed sex lives? I thought they were the new "Abstinence only" poster children.

:shrug:

7. Is he trying to promote Don't Ask Don't Give. nt

[katandmoon]

8. Oh, let him rant. He's A-OK with Obama!

[Bluenorthwest]

10. Obama's hand selected host and only speaker at live Obama

events. And of course, trash talking bigot.

[Nikki Stone1]

14. Yep. He is one of Obama's choices.

I never got that.

[Toucano]

15. I don't know who or what this post is about.

And I think I like it that way.

Getting old has it's pluses. Fer sure!

[imdjh]

18. When you get in the check out do you look at Soap Digest and think, "He's still alive?"

Look at People and wonder who those people are? Look at US and think, "It's probably just a knock off of People."

[Toucano]

22. Exactly. And who the hell is Brittney Aguillara anyhow?

Or looked at "Dancing with the Stars" and wondered, "Where are the stars?"

:)

[imdjh]

17. Never heard of him. Gee, thanks for spoiling that. nt

[Lilith Velkor]

19. !

20. If God hates homosexuality, why does he want our foreskins so bad?

:shrug:
