How Many Gays Does It Take To Counter Act An Ex-Gay On Obama’s Gospel Tour?

I know it sounds like some old joke but this was the case this past weekend as Barack Obama kicked off what they're calling his gospel tour. Never mind that first we should be all asking ourselves what in the world should a gospel tour have to do with politics but then let's face it, Jesus (or saying that you know him) has helped almost every official get elected in recent times. So go ahead and have your gospel tour, Mr. Obama but how you could expect the gays to stand quietly by as you put Donnie McClurkin on the bill, a well known ex-gay singer who denounces all things gay (unless he's sleeping with one, which according to sources, he's still doing)? Even putting a creepy looking gay minister (Rev. Andy Sidden) didn't help the situation and do you know why? Because you can't do this like a math problem (I was never good at math) and this one sounds like one of those horrible word problems that could never be solved by me.

Here's the thing. I was done with political correctness a long, long time ago because it seems that it's a bunch of sitting in the middle when I have always lived my life in the extremes. In my estimation, you can't sit on the fence without getting a post up your ass (and yes, some may like it). Yet politicians try, try, try again to do this to little or no success. Let's face it, at this point we gays are supposedly supposed to be deciding between Hillary and Barack but neither one of them seems to have the balls to come out and take a stand on how they feel about us gays, well not really. So we continue to stand around in limbo once again choosing between the evils. Aren't you tired of always having to settle for a candidate that is the less of two evils? I know that I am. But I also know that politics (especially on the national scale) isn't too different than your high school student body elections. It's about who is the most popular and to get to be the most popular you have to have make your opinions the ones that you think most people around you have or think they should have. Can you see how that's confusing enough to write and read let alone it working? I don't know but it certainly seems to work for these politicians time and time again.

I'm disappointed in both Barack and Hillary. You say you like us gays but you can't let us get married. You say you want our money and support but then you create a gospel tour with someone who not only is anti-gay but goes out of his way to play on the fears of gay black men. Extorting money from them to attend his seminars where he can supposedly wave his magic wand (and you know what they say about ex-gays and their wands) and turn them into a tit loving heterosexual! Good luck. Experience has shown time and time again that you can get someone to squelch their desires for a long time but at some point they either explode and become a porn star or are doing people in the restroom stall next to them while their poor wife and kids sit at home waiting for them to bring God only knows what disease home because they are so in denial they don't even get that they should protect themselves or their wives. (Enter Mrs. McGreevey, Mrs. Craig and a long line of poor women duped by gay men.) And I pity the woman (if there is one) that is with McClurkin. Can you even imagine? But this whole ex-gay agenda is what creates these "stall cases" who are gay but not a gay that any self-respecting gay wants to be with, to tell you the truth.

I guess maybe it's time to start looking at John Edwards again. He's got the look of Robin from Batman and Robin so he probably would have made a better Vice President but that time passed, as we all know. I think everyone is mainly interested in getting Hillary in the White House because we all want to see what her first fellow, Bill is going to do. He's like the guy in college that goes to every party and always manages to do something that gets the crowd hysterical. But no matter who wins we gays are always going to lose. And yet we're constantly trying to make lemonade (in a flattering shade). We look at it the same way the pre-World War II Jews looked at it, "Well, they're telling us we all need to move into a ghetto together. At least we'll have our family around us." Next it was, "What do you mean we have to travel on trains to a work camp? Didn't we all ready do this; didn't we make the pyramids for that son of a bitch Pharaoh? Oh well, we'll all get thin from the work." And finally, "A shower? Honestly, who knew I smelled so bad?" Well, that's my question to these candidates, why do we smell so bad? And if you think we're getting into those showers without you alongside us, you're once again underestimating us gays. (And if you do get in the shower with us, thank God you've been watching HBO and will know how it all works!)

Look as a white Jewish gay man I certainly can't influence who gets chosen for the Obama Gospel Bash. But no matter how cynical I become it won't stop me from voting. Hey, it's one of the few things I'm still allowed to do (at the moment). So I wish Obama luck (though I don't know that he needs it with Oprah backing him) and I wish Hillary well, I just wish they felt the same about me and my fellow gays. Until then we'll have to try to figure out this ridiculous word problem riddle, how many gays does it take to counter act an ex-gay on Obama's gospel tour? - Don't Get Me Started!
