Some of my children live in one of the most homophobic nations in the world and at times this presents unbelievable challenges because we are constantly battling homophobia in the most extreme expressions.

I immediately began to tell him about how the Lord had healed my body and spirit -- yes, and even my world. I went on to tell him that I had planned on writing my story but was completely swamped with all the responsibilities that come with ministry.

I request that the focus be solely placed on the urgent matter that prompted this correspondence -- a matter that literally deals with what I feel are life and death issues that will affect not only clergy members and leaders, but those we minister to.

Black newspapers ignore and overlook the importance of pertinent issues that impact the lives of gay African-Americans, they tacitly approve and condone acts of hatred and homophobia.

Today, this targeted abuse seems very unlikely to end in the near future (especially in America), especially since the CDC recently announced in a stunning report that young people in the United States are at persistent risk of HIV infection.

A vicious immoral insanity has invaded Uganda like a biblical plague, and is now eating away at her soul and festering amongst her people like a virulent malignant disease.

Today, you would think that because I am an African-American, that I would have awakened with a new zest for living, a belief that all things are possible and a renewed hope in America, the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. But instead, I felt a chilling numbness emotionally very similar to the kind of feeling that I experience when someone close to me in my family has just died.

If anything will lead to the demise of our civilization and lay the groundwork for "ANARCHY", one without governmental law, disorder and utter chaos; it won't be because the gays are marrying and lovingly caring for the thousands of unwanted children in the world.

Now, even before the dust could settle on the NBA courts from both of these unfortunate incidents, Tracy Morgan, a renowned comedian and actor did what I consider the ultimate, when he said in a monologue performed at a show in Nashville, Tennessee at Ryman Auditorium, that if his son was gay he would "pull out a knife and stab that little [n-----] to death."

It is said that there are over 100,000 children in the foster care system and at one time, my son Rickey was one of them. At a very early age, he was taken away from his mother because of allegations that she had abused him and was not caring for him properly (something I did not know when I first met her).

Recently, for calling someone a "F*@%king faggot!" Joakim Noah was only fined $50,000, half of what Kobe Bryant was fined for saying the same thing. How come? Possibly because, as stated previously, Kobe's statement was directed at a referee and, supposedly, hurling an insult like this at a paying customer is less of an offense.

I congratulate him for taking this very courageous and personally liberating step. However, I am also extremely dismayed that he is being criticized for why it took him so long to do so.

Recently, one McDonald's restaurant in Baltimore was the scene of something much less than the perfect family dining experience. At this particular eatery, diners got a surprise dinner theater performance with their meals. The customers were able to watch murderous homophobic female thugs as they attempted to kill a member of the LGBT community.
