[amusejanetmason.com] - Think of the west central African REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON as a twisted microcosm of the continent: there's varied geography, cultural diversity, government corruption and official homophobia. It takes courage to be a political activist there ? but still, sometimes the best strategy is retreat. That became the only option for lesbian GERTRUDE MELONG, who shared her story with "This Way Out's" STEVE PRIDE (with thanks to translator KARIMOU OLATOUNDJI, and "Gimme Shelter" outro music from "PLAYING FOR CHANGE").

Smack in the middle of New York City's traditionally African American neighborhood of HARLEM, the church, whose name stands for "All The Land Anointed Holy", occupies the building that once housed the controversial Depression Era cult leader Father Divine. Nowadays PASTOR JAMES DAVID MANNING gets his ministry into the news by bill-boarding insanely homophobic messages? -- like the one proclaiming that President Obama had "released homo demons on the black man." But when it came to Manning's "Jesus Would Stone Homos" declaration, trans-activist Jennifer Louise Lopez had enough. She went to the church and told the staff she had come for her stoning.? After a startled church official refused, Lopez set about organizing more demonstrators to join her. Pastor Manning played down the protests with a large serving of name-calling and ridicule (with intro/outro music from "Let's Go Get Stoned" performed by RAY CHARLES). - From a time when institutionalized Christian homophobia was the norm, today the UNITED METHODIST CHURCH stands pretty much alone among U.S. mainline denominations with its doctrinal statement against "the practice of homosexuality." Fifteen years after Rev. Jimmy Creech was drummed out of the clergy for officiating at same-gender union ceremonies, "This Way Out's" STEVE PRIDE heard a new testament from another "marryin' Methodist minister," PENNSYLVANIA's REV.
