Dear Friends:
After watching these videos my gut reaction was to go on a tirade against Donnie McClurkin; however, this man does not need my (nor the collective gay community’s ire). He needs sympathy because he is really SAD. He hates who he is so much that he will willingly defame himself, and people like him, just to appease a congregation of people who believes he will rot in hell if he even entertains the notion of loving and being loved in a way that is natural to him.
Anyway…
Sorry Donnie but I’ve been on the self hatred path. I refuse to travel it. I am happy and fulfilled in the knowledge that I wonder, beautiful, and worthy to exist just AS I AM. Honey, you know you can’t change your attraction. You can preach all this rhetoric until the cows come home but the “girls” all know you HOIN in the dark (hell, you refuse to refer to yourself as a heterosexual…which means you are still a homo). COGIC is a breeding ground for closet homosexuals. So don’t hate and ridicule me because I lead my life on the up and up. I’m free Mr. McClurkin. I don’t have to use some woman as a smoke screen and go fuck men in dark alleyways just to feed my loins (which is something dogs do). I’m free to create lasting relationships that will fulfill me completely. Can you say the same?
In addition, Mr. McClurkin, you should really think about what it is you are doing if you REALLY long to be “Christ like.” Somewhere in that audience is a child or adolescent that will go home and cry themselves to sleep just because they aren’t who that hateful church says they are supposed to be. That venomous rhetoric destroys lives and leads to adolescent suicide. I know because I WAS one of those kids. Because of well meaning christians like yourself I was ready to end it all for Jesus. Fortunately, I didn’t. However, could you live with yourself if you found out some child did do that? Don’t answer (because I know ya’ll COGIC people are SICK).
Anyway Donnie…I still send good thoughts your way. Hopefully oneday you’ll get your life together. You have the problem. Not me.
With Love…
Sincerely,
Toddy English.

Good stuff on this topic! I should first off say, I grew up COGIC and to be honest it wasn’t as vile as it is now, but, left it and the black church long ago, so, my only take on this creep and those who still flock to churches that bash them is, to have ALL church’s, COGIC, Catholic, Around the way to the mall Missionary Baptist AME, and all of them stop getting a free run on not paying taxes. If, they have to pay taxes, this churl and his and the rest of deem’s message of self hate will stop. They preach anti-gay hate and now are involved in politics and get to use that money they don’t pay taxes on? It needs to stop.

I honestly feel sorry for Donnie! He lives a 24/7 internal hell. He should be on suicide watch after that performance/breakdown.

If I believed in demons, they would feed on repression and hate. He will ultimately become a monster if he stays on his road of denial. If he isn’t already, he will become double minded where his desires develops a mind of their own.
God loves him unconditionally, he must strive to be on the same accord and love himself as The Father does. Get Available, Donnie.

Donnie is a bitter old queen, I actually feel sorry for him.
COGIC is not all bad. There is one COGIC church in this area that I attend from time to time.

And let me add one more thing about Donnie. He had no right to call out Tonex in that sermon. Tonex has come out of the closet and I admire and respect him for that. IMO, Tonex is more of a man than Donnie will ever be.

I came across this web site after surfing the net to see what everyone has been talking about concerning donnie mcclurkin’s outburst at a cogic convention. I’ve watched it. It took me several tries because I couldn’t bring myself to watch it completely through. I love Donnie I think whenever he ministers in song or preaching the anointing draws me in. However; this rant he went on makes me believe that perhaps he laid eyes on some male he was attracted to and got made at himself. It’s like going shopping for me. I see something I like realize I can’t afford it and it pissess me off to realize how broke I am sometimes. I feel sad for him. In addition, I am a straight black woman who hasn’t had sex in a while. But I’m still a heterosexual. The absence of sex doesn’t change what I’m attracted to.
