a very messed up individual

julian bond has a lot to say about eddie long:
... the level of homophobia among black Christians remains high because many believe that gay people choose to be gay and, if they wanted, could choose not to be gay. 'That's nonsense and silly,' he said. 'But it's made campaigning for gay rights in black communities very difficult because of the religious bias. But I think that's lessening.' If one of the most powerful black preachers in the nation, who has preached vehemently against gay rights, actually turns out to be gay himself, there will have to be a lot of self-reflection taking place among the much larger black church community — and that could be good for those seeking equality for LGBT people. 'It's sad to say, but if the charges against Bishop Long are true, it's going to be a victory for gay rights in black America. A sad victory,' Bond said.
you just gotta wonder what it must be like to live with eddie the "raving homophobe," as bond put it, and eddie who liked him some young men, all in the same brain ---- talk about cognitive dissonance

thnx andrew
