Ex-gay gospel singer who says God delivered him from being gay was removed from a concert lineup at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial after a request from Washington's mayor.
The Washington Post reports singer Donnie McClurkin was scheduled to perform at the concert Saturday evening to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Several gay rights activities objected to his participation ahead of the event.
Doxie McCoy, a spokeswoman for Mayor Vincent Gray, says the Grammy-winning singer decided not perform because the purpose of the event was to bring people together.

Heterophobes.
Does D.C. have any laws against discrimination based on sexual orientation? Might the mayor have violated those laws with the request?
I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.

Heterophobes! I love it! It is a most apt neologism whose time has come.
Commies built the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain to restrain those who wanted to leave communism.
Islam kills those who want to leave behind the Muslim faith.
Gays prevent gays from going straight and destroy those who actually leave.
Commies, islamists, and gays are murderously insecure people.
Satan hates it with every speck of his grim, raging, sulky being when God brings a vessel forth with testimony like this.
YES THE GOSPEL IS THIS POWERFUL and we really had notice all the time, it was in the Bible.
Yes it’s a bummer. But it’s like the bummer of a bird, bumbling its way out of a house, hitting the ceiling as it does so. What would you expect in a world of sin? These travails WILL, not might, WILL be blessed. I’d personally like to shake his hand. He is one of God’s mighty victors. He’s going to shine bright in heaven.
This is insidious and disgusting. Typical of our era.
Let’s put on our positive eyes for a moment.
Here is an almighty God, that the bible says is love, trying his utmost to bless a stubborn world that is refusing to be blessed.
That stubborn world deals in shadows. God however is dealing in light.
And God has made the terms easy. Just embrace Me in love. I put all your sin on the cross. You will be saved. But I don’t want you to stop there, He says. I want you to love me so much that you turn on the devil with such fervor that he will rue the day he ever tempted you. And I will fill you with My power to do just that, and I will give you joy in doing it! And you will carry My light into the darkness and you will see wonders beyond belief.
Actually... turning on the works of the devil... the devil’s already damned, it’s not like we can damn the devil more... but we can make him gnash his teeth as we not only render his work in vain but gain an additional reward as we do so... God has made this battle SO worth the while.
So saith that little runt called satan...
What’s as disgusting is the “good, moral” folks who deny the gospel power. Oh, we’ll save a thief, or a murderer even, but not a homo!
Those folks have GOT their reward here. And I have a particular Freeper in mind too, actually. Moniker beginning with Y and ending with t, and I almost wonder if this is a liberal troll, but sadly such spiritual cases DO occur. They too can be saved and forgiven, but oh God will not brook their bucking of the gospel. God will not brook any barrier to His blessing.
Because, His blessing isn’t earned by us. It’s a goal He presses because He desires more glory, not less. Damnation for the images He has made of Himself is something like plan Z on His list. Plans A-Y are to save. If the success rate is empirically seen to be small, it’s not God to blame, it’s us.
Those who demand we be tolerant and not be judgmental, have judged and they will not tolerate those who judge homosexuality is wrong.
And yet we cannot be so preoccupied with its wrongness that we forget the superior power of God’s righteousness coupled with God’s stubborn insistence on blessing what had been cursed through our willing love. “God is love.” God means it. This is one stubbornly serious love.
And, Songwriter... get your mind full of THAT love... and you will write paeans that you won’t even believe yourself.
I mean, you WILL believe... but you’ll be astonished at the strength, and at how God will bless it. Because you will be a carrier of the light that God is jealous for.
I guess I am vapor-locking, but I am not understanding what you are saying...can you clarify?
Hey, I pray the good Lord will bless you truly. Love to you.
Have you realized you need Jesus as your savior from sin and accepted Him, embracing Him in love for His forgiveness?
I used to think that Jesus and Christianity in particular were human games in a morality play that we could solve of ourselves. I was wrong. This is metaphysical in scope. There is a supernatural God in which we move, live, and have our being. All power of love comes from God, even perverted loves steal something from God or they wouldn’t go at all. The devil chews holes in God’s grace and so do we, and then when we are saved we are forever forgiven and set on a new learning path set out for us.
I mean, the clarification involves the role of Jesus as savior in our lives, and how God works that through the Holy Spirit. I want to be sure that basis exists... not just for the sake of the discussion but for the sake that I want to embrace you in God’s love too. Let me be God’s arms to hug your soul in Jesus if God’s arms have not yet hugged it.
And oh, all kinds of music will pour out of you once you accept it. The everlasting arms want to hug you, but they will only do so with your permission.
Beautiful!
Don’t just flee evil and endure the suffering from doing so (which is a negative project), but run to the goodness and freedom in God.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is how many who leave behind communism, islam, and homosexuality interpret their experience.
