Rumors Have Power
It is interesting how rumors can have legs of their own and actually have power. Here’s a rumor that is swirling all over the email circuit: “Pastor Hezekiah Walker is gay.”
Pastor Hezekiah Walker is not gay. Even if Hezekiah Walker is gay, why would so many people care if Hezekiah Walker is gay? If Hezekiah Walker is gay, do you really think that Hezekiah Walker say he is (unrepentently) gay and have to close his church and lose his ministry (and, incidentally, platform against gay marriage)? My bigger concern is that Hezekiah Walker is divorced (see my divorce post), but Hezekiah Walker is gay? Nah. The funniest thing about the “Hezekiah Walker is gay” email and story is that it suggests that he’s living on the downlow but told Monique he was going to move in with his transsexual lover. Hello? What Grammy-award winning easily recognized Pastor in New York do you think could secretly hide his live-in transsexual lover? At least take a moment to think about the logic of a rumor before you pass it along.
The actual reason I posted this rumor/gossip is, apparently, putting the phrase “Hezekiah Walker is gay” on your blog actually increases traffic to it from people googling the phrase “Hezekiah Walkier is gay“. So, for those of you looking for gossip confirming that Hezekiah Walker is gay, thanks for helping with my experiment and welcome to my blog. See you on the other side . . . maybe (see I Timothy 5:13 or Proverbs 20:19 or Exodus 20:16)
