Antonio Henry, a reportedly mentally unstable man, is accused with his 16-year-old cousin of killing
Chattanooga pastor David Strong in a grisly crime that left the victim beaten and cut up — all because, Henry claims, Strong tried forcing him to perform a gay sex act. Henry’s mother Anita Burgis attended her son’s hearing this week, where he was denied bond, and repeated Henry’ sister claim that Henry is “not gay.”
Lead Detective Michael Wenger testified that Henry admitted to taking Strong’s debit card and asking for his pin number. But Henry’s mother says she doesn’t believe her son told police he went to Strong’s house to get money for sex acts.
“Antonio Henry is not gay.” she says. “I noticed when [the detective] said that, my son shook his head, ‘no.'” But, when it comes down to it, Burgis and the detective agree the reason the men were at his home isn’t important.
“A man lost his life,” Wenger says. “It doesn’t matter what his sexual preference is and they have not made any allegation of rape or anything like that.”

The homophobia within the black community is baffling since this reminds me of watching AC360 where the ONLY comment a sister had to make about her dead brother, who committed suicide after being bullied for being gay, was “My brother wasn’t gay.”

87% of black people believe the bible is literal. However, this same 87% doesn’t know what “literal” means.

@McMike:
I believe that little boy’s sister on AC360 was a child herself. So can we please not go there with a CHILD..
Secondly…. nevermind. You all have a field day with your Blacks/Homophobia bullshit, because we all that a black woman having her priorities out of order is representative of all blacks and we all know that a portion of 12% of our population are the one’s that are holding us back..
