homophobia meets irony

My good friend Cindia, a GLBTQ rights advocate and really neat person, posted this Gawker link on her Facebook page. I wanted to share.

Megachurch pastor Eddie Long is no stranger to gay issues. He’s publicly denounced homosexuality on more than one occasion. Ironically, some young men are accusing Long of being a predatory sexual fiend who took advantage of them. According to a CNN article, the men are charging “he used his position as their spiritual counselor to coerce them into sexual relationships.” Visit the CNN story for links to PDFs filed by each of the men.

As of Sept. 22, the website for Long’s church, the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, is not functioning. It could be my computer, but I have a feeling it’s out of commission for a little while.

"Who's a suspected sexual deviant? This guy!"
