I found this email I sent to a friend and I thought I'd share it with you all:
Typically, I don't engage in idle banter about another person religious beliefs or lack there of. But I can't help but continually think about the many contradictions there are within The Voices. You have been asked not to sing because; in my opinion, you openly embrace who you are. Perhaps the term "openly" is being used to loosely. Never have we disrespected another person views on our sexual orientation by flaunting it in their faces. Yet I've been constantly reminded of how weak our human flesh is whenever I step inside a church. The hypocrisy is at an ultimate high, there are members of those churches, choirs and etc that partake in lifestyles similar to ours. Similar because they engage in the sexual act and thought process as you and I, but are not in relationship with another man. They gallivant throughout the church and at musicals with barrages of women and are said to be "womanizers".
There seems to be levels of homosexuality that are acceptable. Be the stereotypical flamboyant homosexual Choir Director and/or Church Member, gossiping throughout the church, but don't accept your sexuality openly. Christianity promotes the ideology of having alter egos and/or split personalities. There should be a sign at the door that reads "Sinners are welcomed to sing and tithe, but please suppress who you really are until the services have ended (especially male black homosexuals)." Some have been able to suppress their thoughts and actions for a long time from the church by living a double life. Who are they really trying to fool? I don't have to see you at the club on the pole, an adult bookstore, picking up a male prostitute to qualify you as a Homosexual. The only person that can qualify that is GOD and he sees all. I commend you for not arbitrarily trying to fool GOD by leading two lives. I do not need to be judge by another imperfect human being whom hides behind their failed attempts to suppress his/her sins daily. Continue being you and I support you to the end!
