More Proof Mandisa Is Anti-Gay

The Advocate agrees with me that Mandisa's comments on the show struck viewers as suspiciously bigoted. Further proof? Mandisa's Idol web page touts far right author beth Moore as her own American idol. Moore peddles the absurd suggestion that people just choose to be gay and can change. The Advocate quotes this passage:

"A young Christian girl has a harsh abusive father. She grows up with a fear and distaste for men. Satan supplies a slightly older woman who seems tender and caring. The comforting relationship turns into a physical relationship, so the young woman assumes she must be homosexual. In her heart she knows what she is doing is wrong, but she feels helpless without her new comforter. Soon she starts socializing with other women who are practicing homosexuality, because they will support her new habit with the lies she needs to continue. She avoids the Bible and chooses books that advocate homosexuality. She drops all relationships except those that support the fraudulent attachment with lies.... Scary, isn't it?"

So THAT'S where lesbians came from. Honestly, black churches are among the most virulently anti-gay, so it's no surprise Mandisa might be too. But when she holds up a bigoted,idiotic author peddling snake oil about how women and men get tricked into the gay lifestyle and other such nonsense, Mandisa loses my vote for good.
