@dancerdvine Respond to this video... don't know who made that comment but it was stupid....BUT The church has to figure out a way to address Gay men & woman in a different way...Donnie, years ago admitted to his homosexual lifestyle on national TV. He said he no longer sleeps w/ men and he also said that he was abused as a youngster, but does that mean he is no longer Gay? I don't think so.....I think The Lord made us all different and in his image.....Donnie is anointed, so does it matter?

@BigPapiPhx How do you know what his orientation is? Wouldn't it be better to pray for him IF in fact this was your thought process AND if in fact he is homosexual?

SN: Depends on which lady you are making reference to. One is his wife.
