Does anybody know why?

Alamine said:

Keep on topic.

Timmy84 said:

I agree

Back to the topic,good for him,cuz we all knew anyway.But I bet alot of ass cheeks are tight right Now(pardon the pun,it was too easy) hoping he doesn't out any of those others.C'mon we all know who are suspect in the gospel community.The hypocrisy is a whole other thread.

SavonOsco said:

I have a feeling he just may do that, he pissed off a lot of people in the gospel community.

It wouldn't necessarily make a person a hypocrite. People forget that not all churches are anti-gay. Some of them actually love their neighbours as they were commanded to. Hell, some even welcome them with open arms.

Timmy84 said:

What did he do? And I'm glad he did.

Harlepolis said:

Let's see, cursing on one of his records, calling gospel folks for being hypocritical, etc. Just the usual, being critical when they never allowed it in gospel, lol

Good for him for coming out and admitting it. Too many people from all walks of life are still hiding in their closets from shame and fear. It's easy for those of us in more gay-friendly communities to forget sometimes just how much courage it can take to be honest for some people.

Timmy84 said:

I swear, if folks though the hip hop community was corrupt, they better take heed from the REAL vulturess, gospel singers. 2 faces of the same coin.

Of course, not all of them,,,,but a chunk of them are.

Harlepolis said:

According to Marvin, when he was a gospel child prodigy being guided by his dad, he said he saw gospel singers doing all kinds of outlandish shit. I'm sure Aretha said the same thing.

Timmy84 said:

Oh god, don't get me started on Aretha I don't wanna go that deep and I'm sure you know why

But I remember Billie Holiday saying this when she approached Mahalia Jackson in Newport festival and I quote I dig you Mahalia, you're not a fake bitch like these church bunnies.

Apparently, Mahalia practiced what she preached,,,,,but the gosple circle, boy If there's a book that exposes 'em, I know it will sell like crack cakes

Harlepolis said:

For real. Clara Ward in particular would be a juicy one. But yeah Mahalia lived the way she talked, which was great for her.

Timmy84 said:

I doubt it, my pastor called for the men to go down for prayer and a feminine female got up and walked down to the alter crying. The gospel community is not that dumb, they just look the other way.

Countthedays said:

Just like the army, don't ask don't tell.

I agree with them not being dumb though.

Countthedays said:

Yeah that's true.

Donnie McClurkin I think.

Timmy84 said:

You do know Andre Crouch was into men and love cocaine too right?

Christians can be some of the most hypocrites!

Chic35 said:

No but I'm not surprised.

Harlepolis said:

I used to chill with a gospel singer that's well known and I would see that whole gospel scene behind the scenes...some were no different than the secular scene,I was kind of shocked..It's a hustle for many and we all know that..alot of them are just people that couldnt get a break in the R&B genre and moved to gospel...but they still partying,cussing and what-not.It's like someone said earlier "dont see-dont tell" and I agree the community is not that dumb to let this news get any bigger.

SavonOsco said:

Thats me who said it and I wasn't talking about the cussing and carrying on, these people are human and shouldn't be put on pedestal.

What I meant was their treatment of their gay members,,,,,they refuse to acknowledge their existence at best, or condemn them at worst.

Timmy84 said:

It's the real thing indeed, but don't underestimate some skills of graphic illustrators. I remember watching a Japanese illustration book and there was
one page of an artist who had photographically airbrushed piles of broken glass ... freakin' airbrushed When i saw it for the first time i was like

I think airbrushing is more practised digitally these days, but some specialists still can get some good bucks by painting motors and vans.

I knew what you meant..that's part of my "what-not"

Alamine is severely retarded and can't spell.
Does anybody know why?
