		<description><![CDATA[So Bill I assume that you&#039;re saying. All Black people that attend church are homophobic???? Some of you white queens give me gas. Breeding ground for homophobia huh?

Well then tell that to Pat Robertson Ted Haggart, Rod Parsley, Jenzteen Franklin, Billy and Franklin Graham, Jonathan Falwell, The AFA, Focus on The Family and while you&#039;re at it GOProud.
They&#039;re all ran by WHITE peoplen whose groups has been a tremendous breeding ground for hate and homophobia. 

Haven&#039;t you seen the HORRIBLE suicides this week? Well it was 1 black kid and all the rest was white. Do you tHink it was Black kids that bullied them too????

Clean up your own house (Your race of people) before trying to condemn others and don&#039;t forget to Clorox those sheets you wore while making your comment!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joe - 

Get a grip! He is &quot;being bashed,&quot; because he has no balls to tell the truth. How nice of these Christian Soliders to lead but not follow their own advise. In my book I describe a moment when my &quot;Christian&quot; brother in-law tried to moleste me, but later when my sister read the truth, he says he was ministering - just like the Preacher man! 
Besides all that, a little drama goes a long way. 

You think comparing your pitiful self to David fighting Goliath is not DRAMA, well I suggest you look up the word. 

He is being thrown under the bus because he wanted to throw us there. Who is throwing who under the bus Preacher man, Joe...? 

I guess you are right, we are all drama queen including little David...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve read the comments but I think you should re-read the article. This pastor is not bashing anyone, he is in fact being bashed. Even if the allegations are true, why does the gay community have to throw each other under the bus? People should just grow up and take responsibility for their actions and not have to cause a scene whenever they don&#039;t have their way. Thats why they say that gay men are drama queens and clearly not all are. And yes although the black church has been a breeding ground for hate and homophobia not all churches are; and its not only black churches. I&#039;ve been to several white operated churches who&#039;s done the same thing. Not to mention those are the churches you see protesting on tv all the time. Let&#039;s not make this a racial issue. This is an issue based on someone who didn&#039;t get their way and now they are lashing out just like a little kid. What grown person do you know still acts like a child and is not questioned whether or not they are in their right mind.

Just food for thought. Think before you speak.]]></description>
