As soon as Donnie Davies’ music video “God Hates Fags” appeared then disappeared from MySpace, YouTube and Google, only to reappear on Pastor Donnie’s web site Love God’s Way – which claims to be “a Faith based Ministry with the goal of spreading God’s Love through teaching and healing” – the blogosphere was buzzing. Was Donnie Davies for real? Did he mean what he sang in “God Hates Fags”? Opinions varied.

Wayne Besen, author of Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth and founder of Truth Wins Out, believed Donnie Davies and “God Hates Fags” were nothing more than a joke: “Is this man sinister or a satirist? It is hard to tell, but if I had to place a bet, I’d say this was a parody of the ex-gay myth.”

5. isn't that the most ironic thing about it?

They are so far out there we can't outdo them with satire. Sad, funny, true.

"Donnie's NEW HIT SINGLE Meth & Man Ass! -- A tribute to Ted Haggard." -- One joke deserves another!

Donnie Davies saw it right, as a joke or in all seriousness, to post his music video, "The Bible Says" on YouTube, Google Video and MySpace.

I'm proud to report that ALL three of these video providers have taken down his song of hate, where he sings "God hates fags" and "If you're a fag, God hates you too!"

However, for whatever reason this video was created, it's still simply HATE SPEECH.

The problem is that this is being presented as a real song and a real ministry, including a webpage that touts it's C.H.O.P.S. programme (CHANGING HOMOSEXUALS into ORDINARY PEOPLE.) What, exaclty is an ORDINARY person? A heterosexual?

Donnie, featured in his pink shirt in this video, is a cute bearish type -- if this was done as a JOKE for publicity, it was in POOR TASTE. If he's serious, he needs help!

I have deleted his original hate-spewing music from his video and replaced it with "Meth and Man Ass" by Paul Hipp!

I think it works better!

Enjoy!

6. But "Meth and Man Ass" was considered hateful on DU too.

And threads about it were shut down more than once.
