McClurkin was scheduled to perform in the D.C.-government-sponsored concert with other singers at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial during the “Reflections on Peace: From Gandhi to King” event. But at the request of Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D), who fielded concerns from activists Friday, the Grammy-winning singer decided not to perform, according to the mayor’s office.
“The Arts and Humanities Commission and Donnie McClurkin’s management decided that it would be best for him to withdraw because the purpose of the event is to bring people together,” said Doxie McCoy, a spokeswoman for Gray. “Mayor Gray said the purpose of the event is to promote peace and harmony. That is what King was all about.”

How can peace be promoted with this mentality? Dr King would have clearly understood deliverance from homosexuality,and would have approved of his being there.Somehow his message has gotten lost,because true peace would be inclusive of all people,homosexual and heterosexual.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't "peace and harmony" include acceptance and allow him to perform his scheduled appearance? Hypocritical religious stance of peace.
ReplyDeleteCowards.
For people begging for tolerance, they're a pretty intolerant crew.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show you that homosexuality is a choice. Glad that the lord was able to deliver that man from the evil and nastiness of that wicked behavior.
