No Need


In my opinion Wendi Thomas is gay. I have no documented proof, but revealing that will explain what I'm about to say. She acts like an obnoxious smart mouthed little butch. Who has no respect for her elders especially men. So I'm not surprised she would write a one sided story trying to affirm her own behaviour. Not only do I think she's gay but also a problem profiteer.
I have watched her play the race card and play both sides of the fence every since she first got hired by the Commercial Appeal. It would have been a good story if it had actually dealt with what the title promised. It was supposed to deal with the disparity of how gays are treated in the black and white church but ironically the only thing she discussed were the blacks .

She managed to find the one openly black lesbian preacher in the city of Memphis for this interview. An admitted gay preacher black or white, male or female is going to have a problem anywhere they are. Not just in Memphis and certainly not just in the black church. Why would they be trying to put this bone of contention squarely at the steps of the black church? LaPaula Turner, associate pastor at Holy Trinity Church, laments that black gay men and women find no love in their own churches that reject them. If faith doesn't depend on the color of a person's skin. Why does it even matter which church embraces them? Her and her "to each his own" crowd doesn't constitute a majority. They just make the most noise.

I'm tired of gay people trying to force this to be an issue in the church. If preachers talk about it on their own they're considered gay bashing or being homophobic. Now we see if they don't talk about it they're said to be condoning the lifestyle. They haven't changed their minds they just don't want to beat a dead horse. People who are homosexual have already decided to choose their sexual preference over their salvation. Preachers aren't going to spend all their time trying to change just that one thing. There is no need.

  2. Black Tsunami,

    I went as far as I thought necessary to qualify my statement. I didn't just form this opinion about Ms. Thomas after reading this column. I stated my opinion some time ago. http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2006/05/what-i-think-about-wendi.html The part about her being gay via a trusted source.

    I get her point and I still think it is wrong. I don't know of one black church that has disfellowshipped anyone because they are gay. If I had a lifeboat I wouldn't be trying to get on a sinking ship. I dont agree with Muslims, so I don't go to the mosque. They can't come to my church either and demand we give all praises to Allah. As proven by a LaPaula Turner they obviously have churches that disregard other scripture as well. If you don't like the traditional black church. Why not attend and build them?

    Based on your name and picture and the fact that you strongly disagree with me sort of gives it away.
