Sadly, so many of these rabidly anti-gay preachers ends up being homosexual themselves per the article:
"Long frequently denounces homosexual behavior. A 2007 article in the Southern Poverty Law Center's magazine called him "one of the most virulently homophobic black leaders in the religiously based anti-gay movement."
I put it up there to highlight his prominence in that community, as well as his prominence on the WORD network, a predominantly black Christian station - nothing less and nothing more. Ted Haggard's "fall from grace" (to critics) had more to do with his "fundie" association than his skin color. Eddie Long's has more to do with the modern-day "pimp lifestyle" of quite a few black ministers seem to be emulating and he is just probably one in a long list of them in that community living on the DL.
And before thoughts go flying, I am a black, Caribbean born individual.

I've noticed you've got a few negative posts directed at you lately for mentioning blacks/religion in a unfavorable light. I always laugh. People should really check profiles before they get all offended. It might save them time and energy.
