Pastor Earnest Angley is a real piece of work.
For years he’s led the Grace Cathedral church in Akron, Ohio, where he’s espoused antigay rhetoric and made it a habit to manipulate and take advantage of his parishioners.
The 97-year-old glorified conman has been on the receiving end of many damning accusations, from sexual abuse to employing illegal unpaid labor to coercing a 76-year-old believer with dementia to write a check for $340,000.
Now a newly public audio recording shows Angley to be a hypocrite in another classic antigay fashion. While regularly preaching that homosexuality is a sin, and potentially inflicting real damage on queer youth whose parents subjected them to Angley’s ramblings, it turns out the pastor was having gay sex on the side.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
An anonymous source supplied the 23-year-old recording to the Akron Beacon Journal. On it, the pastor speaks with Rev. Bill Davis. Davis is upset with Angley for spreading a rumor about Davis’ wife being “vulgar”, and accuses Angley of having gay sex, which Davis calls “vulgar.”
Angley denies the story is true — but only the part where Davis implies Angley and his male sex partner both ejaculated.
Davis: … [My wife] said, ‘I’ll tell you what vulgar is: Him and [name withheld] naked, laying in Angel’s bed, masturbating each other and going to the bathroom to have to wash the ejaculation off his hands.’ …” [Angel is Angley’s wife, who died in 1970.]
Angley: “That’s not true because I didn’t ejaculate him. I didn’t make him cum.”
Davis: “Well, you was both naked in that bed.”
Angley: “Well, I didn’t make him cum.”
Listen to the clip below:
And just like that, the “antigay douchebags caught having gay sex” club inducts its latest member. It sure is getting crowded in there.
As if that’s not enough, here’s a former mentee of Angley sharing what it was like to be sexually abused by the televangelist:

Wow. Just wow. I’m just hoping the victims got the necessary support they needed after this came out. Just wow. Nothing else. Really, wow. Disturbing sh*t as always.

If hell exists (big if), I hope there is a special place for people like this.
Dwik27
Who would have sex with THAT???!!! Seriously, there is no amount of sensory deprivation (blindness, loss of smell, no sense of touch, etc.) that would ever allow me to come close to THAT.
scotshot
Apparently Melania Trump had sex with “THAT”.
PoetDaddy
Who would have sex with that? Someone who needed money more than they needed self-respect. They’re not hard to find.
BGinBigD
EXACTLY!!! Yet another FAKE televangelist CHRISTIAN that only the most stupid, ignorant, gullible, pathetic people would follow.
dmanhart
It isn’t gay if you don’t ejaculate.
Bob LaBlah
I wonder if ol’ Paul Bearer from the WWE’s old days is his son. They look just alike, already dead but some how still able to make sounds that sound like their speaking words.
joseph_buscarino
That is probably why he became an Anti Gay fanatic, guess he figures if he can’t have gay sex, or fun, nobody else should lol
Me2
LOL, you’re spot on! He does look just like Paul Bearer.
Bob LaBlah
Good lord almighty. I had no idea ol’ Paul Bearer died. I just did a google search on him. He passed away back in 2013. RIP Paul.

I am old enough to remember telling people in the 1950″s that he was the biggest sissy around. Just listen to his sermon’s or watch and you knew that he was gay. A closet queen who knew better.
Donston
I’m barely 30, but having grown up in Northeast, OH I’m very well aware of him. I never really peeped anything sissified about him, maybe because I never watched his show for more than ten seconds every other month. However, I’m also not at all surprised by the allegations.
A lot of people with orientations that lean very much towards the “younger” crowd hide behind religion. While for a lot of Christians (and non-Christians for that matter) same-sex sexual activity is fine so long as it doesn’t go too far. “Too far” might be anal intercourse or ejaculation. It also may be making sure you never say that you’re “gay” or making sure that you never have a legit same-sex relationship. Anything to contort and delude the mind. Someone can be 100% homosexual from a sexual, romantic, emotional, relationship contentment standpoint, but as long as they avoid the word “gay” and don’t have legit same-sex relationships then they feel entitled to be anti-gay hypocrites.
BGinBigD
Poor thang! Bless her heart! I remember back in the 80’s my friends and I would watch the televangelist for extreme laughs. I remember how pathetic she was selling her Healing Cloths and Holy Water, and especially, makin those “evil spirits come OUT”. There’s a special place in Hell for Miss Earnest.

That toupee has got to go, lol…

*boomp boomp boomp* Another one bites the dust.
GayEGO
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! It is so humorous that these supposed religiously righteous bigots are caught sneaking and caught doing the opposite of what they tout is against god’s will. They never seem to realize that we have relationships, often stronger than straight ones and we live just like everyone else!

I don’t understand why he thinks that cheap hairpiece is fooling anyone.

This may just be the first ever article on Queerty that made me lose my lunch.
fur_hunter
Well…….I guess we have another Eddie Long. Except this one is ‘white’ and wears a really BAD hairpiece. For those of you not familiar with Eddie Long, he was pastor of a mega-church in Conyers, Ga., constantly condemning gays. When in 2010 (I think that was the year), several guys came out saying he had sent them muscle pose pictures to them and wanting to have sex. NO straight man sends muscle pose photos to other men. Of course, he turned into Cleopatra….Queen of Denial. The piece of $H!T died a while back. Guess he’s now in that HELL he kept telling all gays they were going to. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Oh…by the way…the church is affiliated with…..of course…….the Southern Baptists!….who else? The most hateful group on the planet.

Gee, an anti-Gay pastor turns out to be Gay….that NEVER happens! Oh, wait…..
Curtispsf
Well OF COURSE this “pastor” isn’t gay. Everybody knows you can suck all the dick in the world and have anal sex, but so long as you don’t ejaculate it doesn’t count. That’s what these preachers tell all the pre-pubescent boys they molest: “You didn’t cum so that means ‘we’re’ not gay.
MynameisSid
I live right down the street from his church, and the pasting lot is always full, which simultaneously confuses and scares me.

Sex with Jabba the Hutt, WoW.
GentlemanCaller
I believe him when he says he didn’t make the other guy ejaculate; who could cum with THAT next to them?
woodroad34
I believe that’s probably why they didn’t have kids.

There used to be plastic “wigs” years ago. Looks like fugly fattie held on to one..,

Religion is a mental illness and should be treated as such. If anyone started ranting about ghosts, virgins having babies, turning water into wine, etc, etc, he/she should be given Obamacare psychiatric help. As for the insanity of GeeZeus…….well WWJD? Nothing……he lived and died like every other human on this planet and he has played the world along with his Pimp father AKA god!
Inspector 57
Amen, Brother mondongo!!!

I lived in Michigan back in the 50’s and early 60’s and both my mom and her sisters loved him. I remember sitting in front of the TV watching that Lindsey-Grahamed-voice encouraging people to put their hands on the screen as he put his hand up to the camera and telling them they were “heee-yullled”. Geez! I thought that old queen died a long time ago–look at that dyed hair (wig) and chalky skin–he looks like something out of Caberet.

His LGBT credential should be revoked for that awful wig.

OMFG, what kind of low self esteem must someone have to sleep with that.
Greg
Enquiring minds want to know. I wonder who would get in the bed naked with this ogre. He says, “Well, I didn’t make him cum”. Like it’s his saving grace. I would have told him, maybe so, but not from lack of trying.
Bob Scardino
I was sure I wrote something nasty here. Something like “I wouldn’t suck your lousy dick if I was choking to death and there was oxygen in your balls.” (thank you John Waters).
But alas, I don’t see nothing here by me. Btw, at least Jabba the Hutt had a brain.

Greg
If you’re choking to death, you need to remove the object that is choking you. Oxygen won’t save you. If you were suffocating, then maybe it would.
scotty
well that’s what you get with earnest angry… i wouldnt piss on him if he were on fire.
Doug
Having sex with this guy would send anybody back into the closet!!
nitejonboy
Well, as long as he didn’t make you cum, then you’re not gay…it’s okay, god forgives you. NOT!

Charlatans like Ernest Angley exist & even thrive ONLY because people in mostly-rural, backwater areas are dumb enough to $upport their bizarre ‘ministries.’ #ImagineNoReligion #ItsEasyIfYouTry

Funny, I always thought the phrase was “hell to pay,” not “hell toupee.”
frankcar1965
The nitwit cutie in the video, Brock Miller, said Angley “made” him take his clothes off and jerk off in front of him. Really, you’re a grown man and you actually do this? I don’t know if he won his lawsuit against Angley but I hope not just for him being so stupid. Who would do this, an adult who could have said no. He probably wanted to take over the church for himself. They are all a bunch of evil deplorables and should be shot.
Michael007
He truly looks like a demon from Hell! I knew he was a phony long, long ago. Yet, we all know that thousands and thousands of people follow him. Unbelievable how people can be duped this way.
I saw where another person commenting on here said that ‘Southern Baptists’ were the worst for condemning gay people. I live in the south and I know of even more horrible religious congregations than the Baptists. First off, the Church of Christ (which is mostly a southern thing) takes first place for hatred. If you don’t belong to their church, you are despised by them. Followed by Assemblies of God and other Pentecostal churches. The lower the education one has, the more likely they will be a member of one of the above mentioned churches. I’ve seen them coming and going from their church buildings and . . . this is no joke . . . the men (even the younger ones) seem to have few teeth and dress like they are out feeding the pigs, and all the women have their hair tied up in a big bun on top of their head and wear dresses that flow to the tops of their shoes. The big dresses are an attempt to hide their fat asses! The women are all an ugly version of Aunt Bee on Andy Griffith.
tjack47
I watched that idiot touch people who then fell out, healed of course. I was a kid, and all he was to me was confirmation that all religion is bullshit. I figured that out at age 7. Late bloomer. I guess. It’s religion that’s the cause of all this self-loathing, if only I’m in the clergy will no one suspect I might be gay, an abomination unto the lord bullshit in the first place. Delusional.
Bob3007
I was in college in 81 and we would have drinking parties listening to this old silly queen and watching all those poor suckers giving him money as he touched some deaf kid on the ear saying “ evil spirits come ouuuuuuttttt” then standing behind the kid going say bay-beeeee then tapping the kid on the back….baybuh…praise jeebus he can hear again. This guys been a quack for 70 years and i think benny hinn learned from him
