WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL! THE CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST AND HAS CROWED 3 TIMES!
The messiness, foolishness, and sheer madness of this whole situation has brought me out of my work/career hiatus to post. (I hope to regularly post in general) Hypocrisy, homosexual behavior, and the black religious fold. This is PURE UNADULTERATED FUCKERY AT IT VERY BEST! Now where do I start.
I've been saying for years (pre-bloggging days) that foolishness ALWAYS finds it source. Well, Eddie Long has a history of being involved in anti-LGBT foolishness from helping campaign for Georgia to ban any same-sex unions or domestic partnership in 2004 to his silly ass march in the winter of 2005 in Atlanta against same-sex unions to his rabid homophobic ranting in a good chunk of his "sermons" (if you want to call it that). This man has been the walk body of the stereotype of homophobia in the black religious community. Yet his stupid ass brought himself down over lust for another man, the irony.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the 3 plaintiffs (whom names I won't repeat since they are already is there for the world to see on most sites, just Google it) have said basically the same thing, Eddie Long likes to be called "Daddy", took them on lavish trips around the world, introduced them to celebs (or "popular people" in my vernacular), slept in the same bed with him, and sexual acts including masturbation, oral sex were engaged.
Now I'm going to speak on some stuff I allegedly now in vague terms since this is an ongoing case. There are also allegations that Long has been doing this mess since the early 1990s when he first came popular in Atlanta and the black religious circles. Things of such involving such as him taking those boys to the Atlanta Hawks basketball games and etc.
Art Franklin, New Birth's spokesperson is a former Birmingham news anchor has allegations about about him and his sexuality too (especially considering the allegations surrounding his divorce). These are among some of the reasons why he allegedly left WBRC "FOX6" to go to Atlanta to work on his music and writing then later wind up at WBRC's former sister station, WAGA "FOX5" and now at New Birth as the spokesman.
All I'm going to say is this mess is destructive and revealing the bed of hypocrisy involving some black folks especially in the religious and church circles. That's why I've been giving most of them the side-eye for awhile now because it shows that folks need to leave the LGBTs alone like the racially bias need to leave people of color alone...
The discussion of social issues and happenings across the South (sometimes the nation). Along with some rants about things such as the media (radio, TV, and internet), music, etc. from a socially progressive yet politically independent perspective.
