Oooops!! Son of homophobic, raving, ranting biblethumper T. D. Jakes arrested for . . . well, read it for yourself

Last month everyone was talking about Obama's pick of homophobic
pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at the inauguration. But
what got much less notice was Obama's attendance at a private church
service the morning of his inauguration where Dallas megachurch pastor
and raging homophobe T.D. Jakes gave the sermon. Bishop Jakes has been
gaining national prominence for years now, and with the recent release
of a major Hollywood film that he wrote and his palling around with
Obama, he seems to have hit the big time.

Jakes is the founder of the Potters House, a 30,000-member church in
South Dallas. As the Dallas Voice reports, Jakes has been criticized
by HIV/AIDS activists for undermining prevention of the disease by
stigmatizing homosexuality and drug use, has said that he would never
hire a sexually active gay person, has called homosexuality a
"brokenness," and has spoken out against same-sex marriage.

On same-sex marriage, Jakes once told USA Today: "To date, I have not
seen scriptural authority that allows me to stand on behalf of God and
say I now pronounce you husband and husband, and wife and wife. This
is an issue the government is undecided about. The Bible is not."

This is the type of homophobic environment in which Jakes' son,
Jermaine Jakes, grew up. It can be an oppressive atmosphere for a gay
kid, to say the least, and can make you do all sorts of things that
you otherwise wouldn't do. In fact, Jermaine Jakes worked for his
father's ministry, so this is what he was exposed to all day long. So
it doesn't come as too much surprise to me that 29-year-old Jermaine
Jakes was recently arrested for exposing himself to two undercover
male cops in a South Dallas park.

According to the police affidavit provided by the Dallas Morning News,
Jakes approached one of the policemen, stood next to him, pulled out
an erect you-know-what and masturbated while making eye contact with
the policeman.

Wonder what his father's bible says about that??
