Pastor E. Dewey Smith Calls Out Black Church TBLG Hypocrisy

One of the things I'm sick of hearing is the repeatedly debunked lie that Black people are 'more homophobic' when the reality is that since the 70's, the anti-LGBT movement has been overwhelmingly white in terms of the people who support it, lead the professional gaybaiting organizations, and the fundamentalist churches who push that anti-gay message,

You see idiots like James David Manning get air time, but won't call progressive Black ministers like Bishop Yvette Flunder and countless others around the country.that believe in radical inclusiveness.

So with that being said, i was delighted to see this video of the Rev. E. Dewey Smith of the House of Hope, Greater Travelers Rest Church in Decatur, GA.   He is an example of the ministers who aren't liking the ones who hypocritically attack LGBT people.

He gave a fiery sermon last Sunday that was posted to YouTube on Thursday in which  he slammed church leaders for judging gay people but “you change wives like we change underwear.”

Enjoy the video.

And Then There Were Five

Rut-oh! Bishop Eddie Long has another problem in that the fifth mystery accuser in his ongoing sex scandal has just surfaced courtesy of an Atlanta FOX-5 TV station investigative report.

22 year old Centino Kemp came forward with similar allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long once the initial lawsuits were filed. According to FOX 5 TV sources quoted in the report they say Kemp became involved in the settlement talks as the mystery man. Though his name was never made public, the FOX 5 I-Team learned he may have played a significant role in the mediation.


    

Bishop Eddie Long Had Fifth Accuser in Sexual Misconduct Lawsuit: MyFoxATLANTA.com

Bishop Eddie led a controversial December 11, 2004 'Re-ignite The legacy' anti-marriage march in the ATL that drew between 20,000-25,000 people and started at the foot of Dr. King's grave.  Elements of the African American LGBT community (myself included) have despised his behind ever since.

My ire with him was not only for cozying up to the white fundie bigots and doing their dirty work, but his cozy relationship with then president George W. Bush.

What was that they said about karma?
