The shine is off Senator Barack Obama’s campaign for president. He did it to himself, His damage control was incomplete, and then he dug himself in deeper by compounding the problem with a civil rights speech in South Carolina.

Sometimes the seemingly insignificant tells us more about a candidate than anything else. Such is the case with Senator Barack Obama. Obama organized a series of gospel concerts for black evangelicals in South Carolina. The objective was to bring them into the Obama for President camp.

Donnie McClurkin, a black gospel singer who claims to be cured of his homosexuality through Jesus Christ, headlined the events. (To see Mr McClurkin prance around the stage, you would never guess he had gone back into the closet.)

When challenged about McClurkin by LGBT and civil rights groups, Senator Obama ignored the concerns and not only kept McClurkin on the program, but allowed him to talk to the audience from the stage. Mr. McClurkin, as would be expected, told them that homosexuality is a sin and he had been cured through prayer.

Senator Obama apologized, and hired a gay evangelist to appear at later concerts in the series.

Totally necessary

“Lurkin” Donnie McClurkin, who used his appearance on the Barack Obama gospel tour to denounce homosexuality and claim Jesus Christ cured him and made him a heterosexual was spotted out on Halloween in San Francisco.

McClurkin said his outfit “Is just an old Halloween costume I threw on. I’m meeting Barack later. Do you think he’ll like it?

Then, McLurkins said, “Oh Lord I’m getting those urges. It doesn’t mean I’m gay or anything, but just to be sure I’ll go to a lock-in at my church next week and pray all night.

“I am feeling some of my old urges coming back,” as he stared at a scantily clad man across the street.

“God must be punishing me for participating in Barack Obama’s gospel campaign.” Lurkin McClurkin said, “Because Obama is a Democrat and everyone knows that God is a Republican and Satan is a Democrat.”

Then, McClurkin said,  “Gotta go!” and then ran after the man calling out, “Hey honey, you want a date?”

THE SINS OF DONNIE McCLURKIN: HE FELL DOWN BUT WE ARE UP!

by ALICIA BANKS

I have been silent about Donnie McClurkin's increasingly boring and blatant gaybashing. For a while, I pitied his tragic childhood so much that I excused his misguided venting. But, I can be silent no more.

His recent interview in a gospel magazine is my last straw! (See it in its entirety at a favorite web site owned by one of my favorite brother warriors: www.keithboykin.com.)

Donnie says that he was raped by an uncle as a child, and a cousin as a teen. I hate that these horrible acts violated his youth and wounded his spirit. I never condone any act of sexual violence or pedophilia. But,I also never blanket my hatreds.

Why does Donnie feel the need to bash all homosexuals and curse us all in the name of God in order to detail his individual and uniquely tragic homosexual experiences? Why is he blaming all of us because he fell down? Why drag us all down with him and his molesters?

Many of us are proud to stand and proclaim our homosexuality and our divinity. And, we dare to do so simultaneously and ...   more »
