14. O.K....I found something he actually said:


FREEPORT, N.Y. — Gospel singer Donnie McClurkin said he knows from personal experience that God offers an exit for people who don’t want to be gay.
The Grammy Award-winning singer, who pastors a church in New York, told Religion and Ethics Newsweekly that after being molested as a boy his “desires were toward men.”
But he said, “God gave me the wherewithal to get out of that and find out who I really am.”
“That’s how the change took place, the different scriptures in the Bible, his will being shown through the scriptures,” McClurkin said. “God walked me through it.”
McClurkin said that he tells others “who are looking for that exit” that God can “do it for them.”


He just says "others who are looking for that exit," and by extension my share his same religious views. He's not saying as someone said in this thread that "all gays should be destroyed."

There is a difference between a personal religious view for oneself and bigotry. That's what I'm trying to figure out here...which is it?
