McClurkin was slated to help fundraise for Obama’s presidential race at a concert in South Carolina this weekend. In a telephone interview, McClurkin stated that he did not believe that it was the intention of god. ‘Sexuality, everything is a matter of choice.” He also said that he did not believe in discriminating against homosexuals. "What people do in their bedrooms and who they are as human beings are two different things," he said.
We need to stop separating ourselves, in my opinion. It is my belief that one of the reasons why people are afraid to “come out of the closet” is because of that separation. Like Obama said, they are our brothers and sisters too.
