Donnie “God Hates a Fag” Davies: Radar Weighs In

posted by on January 25 at 11:02 AM

From Radar Online’s Fresh Intelligence

The unintentional humor of it all strikes a few commentators, including Andrew Sullivan and Dan Savage, as too perfect to be true. They may be onto something. Neither Donnie Davies nor Love God’s Way responded to inquiries from Radar, but scrutiny of their websites raises some red flags. For one thing, both sites were registered by Domains by Proxy on October 25, 2006. The company allows clients to register domains while safeguarding their anonymity. (DonnieDavies.com was registered even more recently, on Dec. 2.) A copyright on the Evening Service website dates back to 1999, though searches on both Lexis and Internet Archive turn up no hits from before this week—a strong indicator the sites just went live.

Then there’s the matter of Jason Bolicki, a gay director whose name surfaced on YouTube among commenters speculating on the video’s origin. Reached for comment at his home in Chicago, Bolicki denied any association with the video but said he laughed out loud when saw it “a couple weeks ago.” How’d you see it a couple weeks ago when there’s no record of the video existing before January 23? “Hm. Well, maybe I have the timing wrong.”

Well. Looking at the video on the front page of Bolicki's web site, I would say the sense of humor is not inconsistant.

Does Dan Savage realize he is in this video? Check out #8. Gay men do love that fist in the ass.

When I read the last little gotcha (how'd you see the video before it was posted) I heard that DUM-DUM-DUM music from Dragnet in my head.

Yes, I'm in that video--the filmmaker asked me to say something at a reading in Chicago a million years ago. Please note that I'm probably sitting at a desk in what should look like a bookstore, I believe. (I haven't checked out the video again since I was shot for it.) But, hey, if I have a link, however distant and flimsy, to the genius that is "The Bible Says (God Hates a Fag)", shit, nothing will make me happier.

And you know what? The "Bible Says" and the Bolicki film I'm in do share a certain sense of humor about anti-gay rhetoric and stereotypes... Is he nailed?

Look at both guys foreheads (not foreskins) - and you'll notice GHAF has one helluva crease running right down the middle. Both of the other guys' pix show a nice rounded and smooth look. So GHAF would have to be wearing some serious latex appliques (sp?) to get that HUGE crease to be one and the same. If they had that kind of production ability, the video would most likely be of much higher quality overall... Not the same...
But I think GHAF is for real, simply based on the 'Molester/JesusFreek' look in the eyes. Or he's a truly GIFTED actor, that shit's hard to fake, even amongst the well known film actors...
Na Zdrowie !!
