The second video of his, doesn’t it draw obvious parallels between a thyroid condition (that he was ‘born that way’ with) making him overweight and what many assume to be true of homosexuality? It certainly seemed that way to me, if for no other reason than he mentioned it more than once. And I agree that he seems about **thisclose** to busting a gut, probably with disbelief that anyone would buy all of this for real. My vote is for _of course_ it’s satire. Oh, and besides what is (I suppose) apparent to these folks, why does Boy George get an asterisk next to his name and no one else? I’m sure at least Freddie Mercury would have liked one to. D’oh. ---

[QUOTE=Contrapuntal] Missed the edit window, but had to add [this link](http://lovegodsway.org/GayBands) of Gay Bands, or Bands to Watch Out For. My personal favorite – **Ted Nugent (loincloth)** People, you can’t make this shit up. [/QUOTE] Ok, so some of that list makes sense (Village People? Elton John? Boy George? Gay? Really?) But why is Lisa Loeb on it? ---

[QUOTE=Duck Duck Goose] It is, unfortunately, neither a satire nor a parody nor a hoax. His webpage. > **[Donnie Davies, God Hates Fags!](http://www.donniedavies.com/)** His ministry. > **[http://lovegodsway.clients.brainfood.com](http://lovegodsway.org/)** [/QUOTE] Just because he has websites doesn’t mean it’s real. It still looks like satire to me. Other than the lyrics, the song sounds exactly like the stuff they play on christian radio. Especially his voice. Just about every popular male christian singer sounds exactly like that. ---

What, no Allan Parsons? Listen to “Games people play” some time. ---

On watching it, I would have given it a 7 as satire. On reading the comments that a fair number of folks think it might have been serious, I’ll upgrade that to a 9.5. Come ON folks, he’s wearing a pink shirt and white pants already. ---

I guess I found my proof that it is, indeed a [hoax](http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2007/01/davies-exposed-as-actor-joel-oglesby.html) . [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/god-hates-fags-the-song/389512.md?page=2)
