Is Eddie Long A Victim of Black Churches’ Institutionalized Homophobia?
—Clay Cane, the New York-based reporter, giving disgraced Pastor Eddie Long the slightest of passes [via]
how can you call this predator a victim ? its not like He had a mate outside his Marriage, He preys on young men then throw them to the curb once they are too old for his pleasure. This is not just a gay guy hiding his sexuality , this is predator.

“Is Eddie Long A Victim of Black Churches’ Institutionalized Homophobia?”
Still don’t give a fuck about Eddie Long, but could you have come up with a more racist and untrue title?
Flat out ignorant. So tired of racist morons spouting bs about “black homophobia” nonstop like a mantra.
Just stupid.
Keep talking about “black homophobia” while all of the MANY ORGANIZED white HATE GROUPS literally spend hours plotting against you and raising millions to keep you from having any rights.
Ignorant sacks of shit. I swear to God.

No. 4 · ewe wrote, “Sympathy and power? Please. Tell Clay Cane he is not a freshman in college anymore.”
What Clay Cane was basically saying is that growing up in a sexually repressive, homophobic environment resulted in Long turning out more than a bit twisted. So maybe the people who abused Long emotionally when Long was in his teens deserve some of the blame as well. You can feel sympathetic towards Long for having grown up in such an abusive environment, but still condemn him for what he did. Similarly, one can be sympathetic to a pedophile who gets professional treatment and makes sure that he is never in a position to harm a child (maybe having himself placed in an institution before he does anything illegal). It’s the ones who actually go after children that deserve our contempt.

@B: ok. i know. you may be right but Canes writing consistently smacks of a college students academic essay. It is so tired and quite frankly it’s a bore to those of us who already know this analytic angle. Most people don’t really give a crap about why Long abused minors particularly when he chooses to lie about it and make himself out to be the victim. I guess what i am saying is that i already know this jargon about abuse of power and internal rage manifesting itself as violence against others and ones self blah blah blah blah blah fucking blah. over and over and over again.

“In an attempt to be sympathetic”???????
WTF!! Queerty you are full of shit!
This is the chance you’ve been waiting for! Just another opportunity for you to demonize an entire group of people. No one here (Black or White) feels any sympathy for Bishop “Eddie Long Lies”, so why in the fuck are you Race Baiting and attacking the Black Church? Why try to divide people when our common cause will benefit everyone?
UGH! SMH!

What an inane defense. If there wasn’t money to be made in homophobia, Eddie would be be preaching another message. A “preacher” who drives a $350,000 Bentley and lives in a $2,000,000 house will do whatever is best to fill the collection plates. Eddie’s homophobia is only part of what makes him a monster.

WOW – queerty. ive never commented on this site before but you pulled ONE part out of the Advocate’s article and made it seem like the writer condoned what Eddie Long did. That is as bad as the Christian right wing. Everyone should go to Advocate.com and read the full article. you dont even say the article is from the Advocate!
it’s a great article on homophobia and the black church, he puts the blame right on them and the profit of lgbt hatred. you would think queerty would be supportive of this. everyone please read the full article:

Black people are not all homophobic. In fact, some black people have been the best defenders of gay rights as well as civil rights in general. I salute these blacks.
What I don’t like is the cultural imperative within the black community. By cultural imperative, I mean the admired institutions such as black music and the black churches. Both of these entities are extremely homophobic.

In my opinion there is hypocrisy and there is “vicious” hypocrisy.
In this case, hypocrisy would be keeping your lies and agenda contained to the small group of contacts in your life. “Vicious” hypocrisy is actively working to destroy the lives and loves of those “just like you,” while pretending to be something you are not. Pastor Long and Ken Melhman are perfect examples of what I deem to be “vicious” hypocrisy. And, that I cannot forgive.

I think you people are all looking at this from the wrong end of the telescope. It isn’t that black churches are anymore homophobic than others.
The truth is that christianity itself is Institutionalized Homophobia.
Remember that homophobia only starts in the West with that evil death cult becoming the state religion of the roman empire – and within a few years the first laws against homosexuality were passed.
You have to be pretty moronic to be gay and be a christian (or muslim or jewish) – the phrase kissing the rod that beats your back comes to mind, or turkeys voting for an early christmas.
Give it up, it’s an evil sky pixie cult.
