Donnie “God Hates a Fag” Davies: This Just In!

posted by on January 24 at 19:58 PM

Donnie Davies has posted a new video on his website—and in it he thanks Andrew Sullivan. He calls Andrew a “great Christian man,” which is an odd thing for an ex-gay fundy to call an openly gay Catholic and the nation’s most prominent supporter of same-sex marriage. Donnie also thanks Andrew for taking time out to condemn YouTube for pulling his video, which I don’t believe Andrew actually did. Hm… And Donnie has lost his mustache. Here’s his latest video on YouTube…

Hmmm….

But Donnie maintains that he’s for real, CHOPS is for real, and that we should keep checking back at the website for news…

And then there’s this video on YouTube…

And clearly someone out there is taking Donnie seriously…

Okay, this has got to be a hoax. Right? Please? Someone tell me this is a hoax…

Due to how insincere he looks in that clip, it almost makes me think that it would be better if it was not a hoax...

But I did e-mail him about how much Jesus has done to me. And how I was on my knees in worship, blowing on the trumpet of the Lord! I told Donnie how I could feel his love fill me up as I listened to Jesus talking to me through his wonderful music. Then that bitch never e-mailed me back. I got news for him, I was the best damn looking alter boy at St. Mary's Church.... wait I said too much......

The innuendos continue. Davies ends the portion about Sullivan by saying "Thank you so much, Andrew Sullivan, for getting behind me."

Since this whole thing is very strange- can someone answer if the 'national lgbt' groups have made comments about it? The reason I ask this is because they keep popping up in the news regarding the Isaiah Washington use the 'f' word (rhyms with maggot) and the "national groups" that are (??) representing LBGTs keep meeting with him to offer help in educating the public about the cruelty of such words. Any word if they are interested in anything else???

Oh Silvertail, God will provide. Just like He provides the probe for the back door to everyone's personal heaven! Yes, Cum hear Gideon's Trumpet BLOW!!!!!

A "faggot" is a smoldering piece of wood used to light a fire, or a pyre as the case may be, thus the etymology of the other usage. My point is that, words only have the power we give them, otherwise they are just a grouping of letters. Maybe I am just too relaxed about terms, but it seems better to me then getting angry or hurt by them...

Amazing, isn't it?

Your average Fundamentalist wouldn't know an innuendo from an intimation, or an allusion from an aspersion. These people take the word of God, the word of man, literally. Mention 'end zone' 'tight end' 'full back' to these folks, and you can ONLY be talkin' football...

besides if god didn't hate fags anymore, there would no longer be any fun 2 in 1 sin packages, (pun only realized after typing it.)

Congratulations, Donnie!


You've discovered a magical land where it's forever 1995 and the AOLers are groping around endlessly with terms like "satire" and "parody" and "hoax" because they don't believe in trolls.


Who would have guessed The Gays would be so completely oblivious to such a long-standing subcultural phenomenon? And post-Borat, too!


Well played, sir. Very well-played indeed.

I'm...not buying this. Bujt I assume we'll know the truth at some point. Someone's got to be able to research this guy.

My point about the 'horrible' f-word, and the misguided concern the the national LGBT groups' focused attention to the Washington silliness seemed to not have came through

Niveksi:


Would you care to share any speculation you may have entertained as to why your "point [...] seemed to not have came through"?

My point was directed at the strange nature of the 'national' lgbt organizations focus on the Washington case, when frankly this 'fundy' (??) or parody (??) seems to be a more important point. I was also somewhat directing it to silverttail's comment.

...none of which addresses the question I asked you, Niveksi.

Dan why is it you always have to give props to that asshole Sullivan? Just because you were both warmongers and now you're not?

Check out http://www.lovegodsway.org/GayBands for a list of gay bands. Apparently, Morrissey is still questionable.

yeah, but Cyndi Lauper is A-OK? I don't think there is a gay man out there who hasn't cracked a windshield singing in the car to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

Thanks for posting the link Destroyer :-)

Definitely a hoax. That accent is so fake it hurts to listen to it.

Yeah, come on . . . the part in the new video where he says he used to be fat because of a thyroid condition . . . it wasn't his fault . . . he was born that way . . . ?

Hoax, no question.

ok, I'm on the fence.

I mean, there's NO way that it can be real... but he sure has gone to a lot of trouble to prove that it's not.

If it IS real.. which I highly doubt, he's the most clueless guy I've ever met. If it's fake.. he seems to be taking the joke a bit too far to the point that it's stopped being funny and started to be kinda creepy.

Either way, I'm sure he'll be famous for as long as Borat, and by 2010 he'll just be another Trivial Pursuit question.

Did anyone notice that he doesn't pronounce his last name consistently? In some cases he says "Davies," but other times, he pronounces it more like "Davis." Leads me to believe that he's playing a character, or at least not using his own last name.

uh, did he say he used to be a "homosexual liver"? what about his pancre-ass?

Hoax hoax hoax. Come on. Pulling off the jacket and slinging it over his shoulder like that? The accent, as others have noticed? It's performance art, I'm sure of it.

This is driving me INSANE. I really, really want to know if it's a joke or not. If it were real, why wouldn't he address all the YouTube comments left by people who were certain it was a joke? That makes me think it's a hoax, but... I'm still on the fence.

He just did.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned too much is just how slick the production values are - what sort of corn pone preacher shots in 16 x 9 video? The most recent video posting that Jim mentions starts with a pan (giving us a shot of Donnie's crotch no less)- a pan with a CRANE, no less.

This is way beyond your wacky Pentecostal preacher on your local access channel - this is someone who knows (or who has hired someone who knows) how to make a movie.
