BALL OF CONFUSION...THAT'S HOW THE WORLD IS STILL TODAY

In 1970, The Temptations released their classic single "Ball of Confusion" one of their most direct and politcal songs to date. The song had deep and fast paced lyrics about the conditions that were occuring at that time including riots, crooked politcs, the vietnam war and situations in the ghetto. Though the song was released seven months before I was born, the song is just a revelant as it was when it was first released. Espeically concering politcs and the chruch. Many chruche. Particualry Black chruches are known for talking bad about gay people saying we're sinners, demon possed, and going against God's way of living, and by quote on quote not living according to his will, we're all are headed straight for hell. Espeically if we don't change our "ways" and live by his rules. I even heard ignorant remarks like gay people either got mental problems or something happened to them in the home.
Well even after it was proven that Gay people are not mentally ill, there are many people who are still holding onto those stupid ideas. Especially Gospel singers Donnie Mc Klunkin and singing duo Mary-Mary who are part of Presidental Candidate Barack Obama's 40 Days of Faith and Family campaign in South Carolina, one of many southern states that large numbers of Black Baptist churchs who denouce homosexuality.
Mcklunkin has blamed his gay stage was caused by being sexually abused by a male releative between the ages of 8 and 13, and that by givng himself totally to God, he was able to leave the lifestyle. "There was a big 20-year gap of sexual ambiguity where after the rape, my desires were toward men and I had to fight those things because I knew that it wasn't what we were taught in church was right" he told Religion and Ethnics Newsweekly. "And the aold I got, the more that became a problem because those were the first two sexual relationships I had." He also told other publications that he had to fight his desires for men and he wants to counsel young boys into becoming gay. His statements got me mad, but my temperture became hotter after reading comments Gospel duo Mary Mary made in vibe magazine. They Award winning duo whose 2000 debut single "Shackles (Praise HIm)" gained play on Gospel and R&B radio shows were quoted as saying "Gays have issues and need somebody to encourage them like everybody else-just like the murderer, just like the one full of pride, just like the prostitute." Gays have issues? We do have issues. Issues of hearing ignorant comments by Gospel artists, who uses the bible to harm one specific group of people. They so quick to attack us, but they allow women to have children out of wedlock. We also have issues with people who don't follow the advice of Barry White's 1994 hit which Practicing What They Preach; they talk about immoraltiy and most of the time, they're having affairs with people in and outside of their congregation, and when they get busted, they make exuses for their behavior and/or allowing other people to partake in behavior that they tell certain indivuals is wrong (drining, partying, dancing suggestivly).
I received an email from a friend that contained a link connecting an interview with
Donnie's ex male lover who spoke about their 3 year relationship which was occuring during the time he released his autobiography, and when he was on his anti-ex gay crusade tour in 2004. This man was doning religious attire in public, but taking dick behind closed doors; in other words he wanted to have his dessert and eat it too.
The real reason why my blood is boiling is because Obama has these people on his campaign to gain voters from South Carolina, knowing that they are homophobic!!!!
"I strongly beleive that African American and the LGBT communtity must stand together in the fight for equal rights" he said in a press statement. And so I strongly disagree with Reverand Mc Clurkin's views and will continue to fight for these rights as president of the United States to ensure that America is a country that spreads tolerance instead of division."
Well it semms that Barack's featuring those gay bashing artist on his southern campaign trial will prevent him from getting many votes from the LGBT community. Espeically mines. That's not teaching tolerance; that's endorising more hatred, and if he was really smart (Relax kids. I'm not saying he's stupid) he would drop those devils, and get some true Christians who love everybody to help him get votes, because if he doesn't, he will lose some very important group of voters.
As for Donnie and the Mary sisters, I won't be supporting their careers. I've never brought any of their albums, and I don't plan on either since their true colors were exposed and they wasn't shining like a rainbow either!!!!
