The following excerpts are from Janet Boyne’s article “Why the Gay Agenda Is Attacking Ex-Homosexual Donnie McClurkin” on CharismaNews.com: … “How can you disinvite a black man [Donnie McClurkin] from attending the 50th anniversary of the civil rights movement? Let’s get one thing straight, people: Homosexuality is not a civil rights issue! … I am black. I became a lesbian. They are not the same.”

“I did not choose the color of my skin. I did choose to enter a lesbian relationship and to live a homosexual lifestyle for 14 years. I also chose to leave that lifestyle, but I cannot choose to stop being black. There is a difference. The color of my skin is an immutable quality of my being while my lesbianism was a deliberate series of actions resulting in a lifestyle choice.” (more…)

“‘There should be freedom of speech as long as it’s done in love,’ McClurkin said in an online video to his fans. ‘It’s bullying, it’s discrimination, it’s intolerance, and it’s depriving someone of their civil rights to be told they cannot come to an event and by coming it would cause a disruption.’” (more…)
