You gotta read this to believe it: An Interview With Donnie McClurkin's Ex-Lover

They "ex-gay" on the down low.

<snip>
Was there any talk in your conversations about being gay is wrong; this is an abomination, or conversion?

Early on, no—he would relate it to being lonely. Not being able to be who you really want to be, who you are and that was a little later. I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "Well, I'm in gospel, I have fans, I'm about to start this church and the church has a lot of promise. It can be a big thing", which it ended up being. He said, "I have a position to uphold and I have an image, but the thing is I know who I am and I’m going to have to work on some things; I have some things to work on." I said, "Is it that simple? Can you just work on it like that? Cut on a switch."

When was the first time you were intimate?

Like I said we met winter, the first time was in May.

What was that like—the first time you guys were intimate?

It was uncomfortable because...it was uncomfortable because he gets into role playing, which is of course he's the bottom and he wants you to treat him rough. He wants to talk rough and that's not my demeanor, that's not in me. I can play a role and I did it, but I didn’t feel comfortable because it wasn’t me. I felt stupid actually. Like, what did I just do? It was just strange.

1. "He gets into role playing."
I'll say. Pretending to be straight is his role of a lifetime.

3. As I've said. "Ex-gays" are just repressed homosexuals.
You can't "cure" being gay, you can only try to deny what you are or terrorize somebody else into doing so. Reparative "therapy" is psycho-spiritual terrorism.

4. What a surprise ... not!
Bigots are assholes ... nothing new there. Whether bigoted over race, gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, etc. -- a bigot is a bigot and, as such, lacks the knowledge or maturity to participate in the activities of an advanced culture/civilization.

5. McClurkin is a hateful liar...
“As long as I’m not acting upon it, I’m okay. Yes, deep down I probably am gay, but as long as I’m not acting on it.”

He clearly doesn't believe the shit he spews, but he still "counsels" young people that they can change their sexual orientation. Does he believe every gay youth deserves to go through the agony he's still dealing with?

I think it is time Obama truly distanced himself from this man. This is not a matter of spiritual differences... it is a matter of dishonesty and unconscionable treatment of vulnerable youth.

6. Treat rough
In his case, most likely part of his self-hate.

7. If you look up at the top of this page at the blue letters
you'll see the google ads for Donnie McClurkin songs! Weird!

McClurkin is an asshole, plain and simple, allowing his self-hatred to spew over into the whole world. Contemptible!
