Is the hate a GA thing? And why is it the worst pervs are the ones who are most homophobic?

"The allegations against the leader of a 25,000-plus-member church are particularly explosive because of Long's outspoken views on homosexuality. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church leader "one of the most virulently homophobic black leaders in the religiously based anti-gay movement" and noted that he has referred to homosexuality and lesbianism as "spiritual abortions."

In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in DeKalb County, Ga., the two men accuse Long of exploiting his influence to coerce the then-teenagers into sexual relationships with him for years.

The lawsuit says Long, 57, has a long pattern of "singling out a select group of young male church members" and using his influence to engage in "sexual acts and relationships for his own personal sexual gratification." The suit says the pastor -- leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in the Atlanta suburb of Lithonia -- referred to the teenagers as "spiritual sons" and instructed them to follow their "master." In exchange, they claim, Long introduced them to celebrities like film director Tyler Perry, according to The New York Times.
