It’s been an tertg few weeks the world of “gay” viral vios.

While the figur the vios are very different—Jordan openly and happily intifi as gay, while Caldwell ntu to assert he is ex-gay—I n’t help but nsir them together terms of the rponse they’ve generated. I prevly argued that Jordan’s allure lay the trouble he ed for ntemporary ias about “rpectable” gay behavr; he b the sweet of entertament wh the salty be of transgrsn.
But first, a rep: In his ttimony, Caldwell exclaims: “I’m not gay no more! I’m not gay! Watchg all this, is easy to unrstand why an out gay viewer might have trouble settlg on the appropriate reactn—so much is at play.
“I’M NOT GAY NO MORE” ANDREW CALDWELL CASH IN ON EX-GAY FAME
Self-scribed "livert" former gay Black man Andrew Caldwell beme a viral ter sensatn after his over the top ttimony at a COGIC Conference 2014. In the vio, Caldwell proudly exclaims, “I’m not gay no [sic] more” to the thunro applse of the crowd. It was grand theatrics as Caldwell further ttifi, “I don’t like mens [sic] no [sic] more. I like women, women, women, women!” * andrew caldwell gay *
First, there’s the relig celebratn of ex-gayns, which is nox, but not really surprisg. But wh that ntext, we’re shown a man who, spe or perhaps bee of the words g out of his mouth (women, women, women), seems very gay, at least the sense of cultural markers.

The man who almost broke the Inter for screamg, "I'm not gay no more" has a new moneymaker ... a mil versn of his anti-penile mantra that he's hawkg on iTun. * andrew caldwell gay *
We all see this and regnize , and yet the current polil paradigm of self-claratn disurag fg gayns those terms (at least public), so we’re left sort of a strange posn. Do we believe Caldwell, sce he is very fiantly not “out, ” or do we go wh our gaydars and ntue to nsir this man a homo (and perhaps even a n artist) spe his prottatns? When the gay blogs ially vered the vio’s viral breakout, most posted wh ltle mentary other than a general suggtn that this object was patently risible.

So much of the rponse to this vio (among the gay muny, anyway) has felt giddy that way people get when they are actually anx about somethg ser. The church muny appears to be important to this man, and is clear that he nnot be openly gay and rema a part of this particular one. Nor, should be said, n he fd shelter the church queen archetype; the succs of the gay rights movement has had the nsequence of makg those kds of prevly tolerated rol creasgly untenable.
But nsirg his effemacy, his fah, even his blackns, would the mastream gay muny be any more welg?
In the end, I wonr if we are not so much embarrassed for Caldwell as we are embarrassed that people like Caldwell may see so ltle of value current gay culture that nyg themselv orr to fd acceptance where they n is an appealg optn. Andrew Caldwell has apparently learned the lson that, well, you n’t pray away the gay, as the sayg go.
