So while I was in Korea, the only channel I watched on TV was CNN. I got to know many of the anchors and found myself...let's just say drawn to Don Lemon. If you don't know who it is, let my put up a pic.
Maybe you can understand now why I was drawn...LOL. So I was surprised when I came across this video clip from The Young Turks:
You can watch the whole thing but the part that really got to me is when it is stated that the sexual abuse he suffered at 4 years old had nothing to do with his sexual orientation. Seriously? At such a formative age? So are we supposed to believe that it has nothing to do with the fact that he is gay? Since meta-cognitive skills do not completely develop at the age of 4, I think it's safe to say that you, Mr. Don Lemon, were not completely aware of your thought processes and you have no clue as to how it has affected you. If there is a direct correlation, I will leave it up to you to decide.
What has me really going is how happy they are that it was clarified that the abuse did not have an affect on his sexual orientation. What they are trying to say to us (their faithful audience) is that homosexuality is a fulfilling lifestyle that does not result from something sinful such as abuse, for example. Therefore, it is not wrong/sinful and should be celebrated. First of all, he revealed to his mother that he was molested when he was 30 years old. And he is now coming out of the closet at 45. Then he wants to blame the black community for making it hard for him to come out of the closet. This case would make Sigmund Freud gleeful because it is so twisted. I think it would be safe to say that those issues have not been resolved.
Pray for Don Lemon. I know people immediately think prayer is avenue taken by those who are lazy/stupid/weak. Don't let me get into how we have been programmed to not trust in God. But we have also been programmed to believe that a person can distinguish for themselves without the help of God what is right and sinful in their life. Pray for Don Lemon not just because he is hot ( Yes, I said it!) but also because he deserves our pity and prayers and not our celebration.
I know you guys probably knew this info from years ago but I haven't watch CNN since I left Korea. Forgive me for my lateness.
