Obama takes heat for link to McClurkin
Obama is taking heat for his link to Gospel singer Donnie McClurkin.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A gay rights group on Monday urged Barack Obama to cut ties with a gospel singer who it says spreads false information about homosexuality being a choice.
Donnie McClurkin is among several gospel singers scheduled to raise money for the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate at a concert in South Carolina this weekend.
McClurkin has drawn attention from gay rights activists for his views on homosexuality.
"I don't believe that it is the intention of God," McClurkin said Monday in a telephone interview. "Sexuality, everything is a matter of choice."
McClurkin said he does not believe in discriminating against homosexuals. "What people do in their bedrooms and who they are as human beings are two different things," he said.
In a statement, Obama said he believes gays and lesbians are "our brothers and sisters" and should be afforded the same respect, dignity and rights granted all other citizens.

FERD, those in the Black community who are Republican are viewed as "Sellouts, "uncle Toms" etc.
I think they are really in a corner now with this issue

Thad, the day i changed from democrat to republican, I did something NO ONE ELSE in my very politically active family had done.
I know a thing or two about cutting against the grain.
Doing RIGHT is never wrong, no matter who says it is.

Obama takes heat for link to McClurkin
Obama is taking heat for his link to Gospel singer Donnie McClurkin.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A gay rights group on Monday urged Barack Obama to cut ties with a gospel singer who it says spreads false information about homosexuality being a choice.
Donnie McClurkin is among several gospel singers scheduled to raise money for the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate at a concert in South Carolina this weekend.
McClurkin has drawn attention from gay rights activists for his views on homosexuality.
"I don't believe that it is the intention of God," McClurkin said Monday in a telephone interview. "Sexuality, everything is a matter of choice."
McClurkin said he does not believe in discriminating against homosexuals. "What people do in their bedrooms and who they are as human beings are two different things," he said.
In a statement, Obama said he believes gays and lesbians are "our brothers and sisters" and should be afforded the same respect, dignity and rights granted all other citizens.
"I have consistently spoken directly to African-American religious leaders about the need to overcome the homophobia that persists in some parts our community so that we can confront issues like HIV/AIDS and broaden the reach of equal rights in this country," Obama said. "I strongly believe that African Americans and the LGBT community must stand together in the fight for equal rights. And so I strongly disagree with Reverend McClurkin's views and will continue to fight for these rights as president of the United States to ensure that America is a country that spreads tolerance instead of division."
The statement did not say whether McClurkin will still perform on the tour.
"We strongly urge Obama to part ways with this divisive preacher who is clearly singing a different tune than the stated message of the campaign," Wayne Besen, executive director of Truth Wins Out, said in a statement.
At a forum on gay issues in August, Obama argued that civil unions for same-sex couples wouldn't be a "lesser thing" than marriage. Obama belongs to the United Church of Christ, which supports gay marriage, but Obama has yet to go that far.
In a telephone interview Monday, Besen said he admired Obama, but wasn't ready to endorse him, especially considering McClurkin taking part in the campaign's "Embrace the Change" concert tour.
"I think he'd be a great president. But I think it's going to drive away support from people who are on the fence such as myself," Besen said.
McClurkin is a Grammy Award winner who performed at the Republican National Convention in 2004. He told AP Radio in an interview that September that he was "once involved with those desires and those thoughts," which he attributed to being raped at 8 and 13.
"That's what thrust me into it, and then God delivered me from that and gave me back who I really am and my true purpose," McClurkin said.

I wonder what Donnie's feelings are about abortion, same sex marriage, and some of the other views of Obama. If he disagrees then is he backing him because he is black?

He wrote a book against homosexuality yet he is supporting someone who has stated that he is for gay marriage - i'm not getting it.
I don't know if you knew it, but Obama is a member of the "United Church of Christ" which is the same organization that carlton Pearson and Yvette Flunder are in

It does not surprise me. He stated publically a few weeks ago that he would not wear a flag on his lapel because of his protest about certain things.
I WOULD NEVER VOTE for a President that did not support the flag.

If he is that anti-american then he don't need to live in the country and sure don't need to be our president.

If you have voted for republicans you have voted for, bigots, child molestors, sex predators, Liars, and everything else that you might think is expempt from the "R" party. have you paid attention to the news this last year? The senator from Idaho was caught soliciting sex in a bathroom, the congressman from FL. was caught trying to pick up on an under age boy, Te Haggard a Repub. who was in charge of a ultra conservative christian movement was visiting gay prostitutes.
my Governor is an Repub. but is for abortion BTW.
many Blacks see racism as just as bad as being gay

I don't even know what political party I could affiliate myself with at this point, from my veiwpoint, for ANYBODY to make it to the White House, they have been bought and sold so many times, it just doesn't make much of a difference. IMO!!!

This is so true. I had such high regard for our President but have lost all confidence in him and his cabinet. They are sell outs!
I don't doubt that he prays and reads the Bible and is a "Christian" but so was Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. I have seen BC cry like a baby in a Pentecostal service but for goodness sakes - THEY ARE ALL LAWYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't trust a one of them and have no clue at this point which candidate would be the best out of the whole corrupt bunch. Which one is the lesser of two evils?
Dizzy????
you're a democrat ?? wow i would have never guessed!
get ready for SEVERE PERSECUTION!!!

Well, I don't know what I am, I used to consider myself Republican, that's the way I've voted in the past, but I don't know what I am know, to be honest. Is there a "Disillusioned" party????
