*Pastor Donnie McClurkin has shown no tolerance for homosexuality
calling gays “vampires” and “perversions.”
His anti-gay rants were videotaped at the Church of God in Christ’s
Holy Convocation Youth Service in Memphis last weekend and were uploaded
to Youtube.com
McClurkin, who is admittedly ex-gay, lambasted Tonex, the gospel
star who recently confirmed his long-rumored homosexuality. According to
reports, McClurkin said Tonex is a “perversion” and must pray away the
gay.
“God did not call young people to such perversion. Society has
failed him, his church has failed him ā¦ I would be homosexual to this
day if Jesus hadn’t delivered (me). “I see feminine men, feminine boys,
everywhere I go ā¦ No, don’t applaud ‘cuz it ain’t funny. It’s because
we failed. I see them everywhere.”
In the second video, McClurkin turns his hate toward young lesbians
saying ā¦
“These young girls are just as bad as the boys in homosexuality,
you don’t see it. They can hide ā¦ but there are some evil young hard
butch girls.”
The COGIC is embroiled in numerous lawsuits, criminal
investigations and internal church investigations around sexual abuse
involving clergy.
McClurkin recently suggested he still had gay sexual urges and
compared homosexuality to diabetes saying “I don’t eat sugar, but it
doesn’t mean that I don’t want sugar.”
