Gay gospel superstar Donnie McClurkin went on an anti-gay rant last weekend at the Church of God In Christ convention in Memphis.
McClurkin's rant can bee seen in a series of three YouTube videos. He begins his rant against Tonex, the gospel star who recently came out amidst continuing rumors about his 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 berated 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." He didn't let young lesbian girls off the hook either: "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."
It should be noted that despite McClurkin's claims for "delivery" from his homosexuality, he has admitted to "backsliding" on a number of occasions. He has compared his sexuality to diabetes saying (I'm paraphrasing here) 'I'm a diabetic. I don't eat sugar, but it doesn't mean I don't want sugar; that doesn't mean when I see an attractive man I don't want him.' If that doesn't mean you are gay then I don't know what does.
