OK. I don’t have words. This video is either sick, vile homophobia or brilliant satire. [\*\*\*WARNING - NSFW \*\*\*](http://break.com/index/homophobic_christian_rock.html) Is he struggling against his gay urges or condemning the trail of sacheting queers lecherously ogling his beefy bear goodness? 😕 ---

Well, he thanked Andrew Sullivan for getting behind him. I think it’s pretty clear what he meant by that. ---

I don’t hate fags but I like it. I think he is trying to beat off his inner fag through musical cleansing. It starts off slow and a little sickly sweet in the beginning but it eventually gets down to business: “God hates fagggs, If you are a fag, he hates you tooooo!” That singing seems to counterproductive in a way though. It seems to encourage a lot more fags to crowd around him, hold hands, and whatever else they do for support. I doubt its much different to really be a fag most of the time. ---

“To get into heaven, there’s no back door.” Total satire, folks. Move along. ---

Hoax. No question. I was chuckling at the “no back door [to Heaven]” lyric, and how “get on your knees” is rhymed with “sodomy”. He’s ridiculing Christian Rock and fundamentalists generally. ---

That was fair-to-middlin’ satire. Decent production values, though, so I give it a 6/10 for effort and blatantly stating that there’s no back door to Heaven. Better yet, read the replies and comments below the video. I’m not sure if they’ll disappear or rotate so I’ll quote my favorite: [QUOTE=EAGLES5] **I GAY FOR GOD** There i said it [/QUOTE] ---

It is, unfortunately, neither a satire nor a parody nor a hoax. His webpage. [http://www.donniedavies.com/](http://www.donniedavies.com/) His ministry. [http://lovegodsway.org/](http://lovegodsway.org/) He says he is a “reformed homosexual”; that Oscar Wilde, according to him **also** a “reformed homosexual”, is his hero; and that by releasing a single entitled “God Hates Fags”, he is actually preaching God’s word. As a Christian, I have no response to this other than an enormous “Ummm…” and an acute and sudden need to belong to some other church–Wiccan sounds good right about now. ---

And I might add that, in keeping with his trollish personality, he is positively reveling in all the attention his video is getting. From his ministry page: > [@](#): > > Message From Donnie > > It’s been quite a day here at LGWM. We’re still trying to get a handle on how this will affect our ministry. Donnie has filmed together a short update on all the attention, his perspective on people’s opinions and some of the plans for the future. See it here. > > WOW > > The Response has been overwhelming! > We certainly were not expecting this much attention. But don’t get us wrong, we will use it responsibly. I’ve been trying to respond to each and every email, so be patient. We’ll be putting up another video this evening addressing some of the issues we’re facing. > > All press interest please refer to: Publicity > > We’ve done some of the phone interviews and will try and get to all of them.

The best thing about that page was that there was also a video of a guy having a sledding accident. Crotch, meet tree. Wouldst that it had been the singer. ---

He should have fit the lyrics from Tom Robinson Band ([http://www.tomrobinson.com/](http://www.tomrobinson.com/)) into his song: > [@](#): > > I got a friend in Jesus, > But we’re just good friends, you see ---

On his “testimony” page it says he wasn’t “gay”…he was “Gay”. I think it is possible to recover from being “gay”, but if you openly admit you were “Gay”, I think we can all agree you will smoke a pole at the drop of a pant- I mean hat. _…rimjob…_ er…I mean \* rimshot\* ---

Interestingly, Marilyn Manson used the same rhyme in Cake and Sodomy. Does that mean something? ---

Is Donnie actor [Todd Quillen](http://www.queerty.com/queer/scandal/donnie-davies-revealed-20070125.php). Seems like a joke to me. Even the Love God’s Way site has a couple of laughs. ---
