Donnie Mcclurkin Removed From MLK Concert Over 'ex-gay' Claims by peteregwu(m): 6:53am On Aug 12, 2013 |
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - Donnie McClurkin, a gospel singer who says God delivered him "from the sin of homosexuality," is firing back at Washington Mayor Vincent Gray and other officials after he says he was removed from headlining a concert at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. A Grammy winner and pastor, McClurkin was scheduled to perform at the concert Saturday evening to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Several gay rights activists objected to his participation ahead of the event. Doxie McCoy, a spokeswoman for Mayor Vincent Gray, says McClurkin decided to not perform because the purpose of the event was to bring people together. But in a video statement, McClurkin says he was "asked not to attend" and was uninvited from the concert. McClurkin says there should be freedom of speech "as long as it's done in love." The controversy stems from McClurkin's past statements that he was "delivered from the sin of homosexuality." - what's referred to as being an "ex-gay." Some community activists said the mayor made the right move. But some black ministers from around the city lobbied the mayor to keep McClurkin on the program. www.wjla.com/articles/2013/08/donnie-mcclurkin-removed-from-mlk-concert-over-ex-gay-claims-92611.html Matthew 10:15 KJV "Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city." |

Poor Donnie. It's now a crime to testify to God's power to save? Oddly enough, some gays may be allowed to the concert. Very unwise decision. |

I like what he said "there should be freedom of speech as long as it is done in love". The fact that we dont agree on an issue or 'cos it seriously goes against our believes does not mean that we can't live in love and promote it. This people already have their convictions, so why are they scared of him performing? Obviously this gay thing is a fraud, for they all know the truth deep inside. |

Only God knows who is truely worshipping him. There are some truths that are better left unsaid, I think its unwise of him to have given that testimony. So whats his sexuality now, cos I've never heard him talk of wife or children. I jst returned from google now, but the results I'm getting is not clear enough, I saw a story where they said he's about getting married in 2009, |

Chanchit: Only God knows who is truely worshipping him. There are some truths that are better left unsaid, I think its unwise of him to have given that testimony.

It changes nothing |
