Hoping to strike a balance between black and gay voters, presidential candidate Barack Obama enlisted Andy Sidden for his controversial Embrace The Change gospel tour. It would seem, however, that Sidden's not entirely uncontroversial.

The North Carolina-born Reverend (pictured, looking creepy) once worked with the massive gay-founded Metropolitan Community Church. In July of 2002, while working as a pastor at South Carolina's MCC-Columbia, Sidden campaigned to join the ranks of MCC's elders. He didn't get his wish. Less than one year later, the United Church of Christ - an equally inclusive church - asked Sidden to lead their pack. Sidden agreed.

In doing so, however, Sidden may have inadvertently destroyed MCC - Columbia.

In an attempt to quell the queer masses, presidetntial candidate Barack Obama announced yesterday that he'll be adding a gay minister to his "Embrace The Change" gospel tour.

In response to an uproar from gay activists, Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign on Wednesday added a gay minister to the lineup for its weekend gospel tour.

Gay activists had criticized Obama's "Embrace the Change" tour in South Carolina because the performers included gospel singer Donnie McClurkin, who says homosexuality is a choice.

Obama's campaign invited Rev. Andy Sidden, a South Carolina pastor who is openly gay, to appear on Sunday in Columbia.

Human Rights Campaign celebrated Sidden's addition, but president Joe Solmonese told Obama that he'd like to see McClurkin ousted entirely:
"There is no gospel in Donnie McClurkin's message for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and their allies." We agree - and you'll find out why soon enough.
