What about his civil rights?

Gospel singer and pastor Donnie McClurkin from Washington D.C. was to headline a concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of Martin Lurther King, Jr march on Washington held last month. However, gay activists protested and the mayor of Washington D.C. asked the singer not to attend his own headline event. Why? He is ex-gay.

No, it's because he's an anti-gay activist who vilifies gay and lesbian people. Not exactly appropriate for a civil rights celebration...

Would they invite a singer who was a KKK member?.

Rod 2.0:Beta #gay #news #lgbt #gaynews: "Ex-Gay" Donnie McClurkin in Barbados, Compares Gays to "Drug Dealers and Gang Members"

Well, bully for him that he's an "ex-gay", but he has virtually no compunctions about vilifying other gay people, comparing them to drug dealers and gang members, and planting even more seeds of hate in the black community. There's no place for this kind of division at a MLK event, as MLK preached a gospel of inclusion.

Inclusion, unless you're an ex-gay minister.............

They can't choose who sings at the concert?

Is it a civil right now to be forced to include anyone that want to sing at a concert if the venue owners want them or not?

You love to keep spouting that nonsense. We never claimed to tolerate intolerant, ignorant people.

Yeah, it does kind of interest me how homophones say they are not being intolerant while speaking out against gays and excluding them from their private venues (or even stores like the bakery). They desire tolerance for their view points.

However, if people speak out against homophones, or exclude them from private venues, those people are labeled intolerant and suppressing their freedoms. Therefore those people should have their freedoms curtailed.

In the Bible - this can be referred to people who "suppress the truth" (Romans 1).

"Truth" in this case... the fact that with whom one has sexual relations is a choice. The pro-gay groups can't let that get out.

Has anyone ever said that who someone has sexual relations with is NOT a choice?

Deliberately using a straw man argument is dishonest. In the Bible - this can be referred to as 'lying' or 'bearing false witness'.
