Tonight on Hannity and Colmes: Does God Really Hate Fags? Alan?

If you're an Andrew Sullivan reader, you almost certainly have already heard about this. It's a music video, by a gentleman named Donnie Davies, called (wait for it...) "God Hates a Fag." Davies, on his website, claims to be an ex-gay minister who has embraced The Lord, and encourages the same path for other conflicted gays. Which is a great idea, one that never, ever, leads to getting ratted out by a male prostitute who you had sex and did meth with.

Anyway, it's a damn catchy song, which you might even find humming before catching (and hating) yourself. And in fact, the video looks like such a note-perfect parody of anti-gay politics (and of Christian Rock) that some have argued it must be a put-on. This argument was strengthened, earlier this week, when Davies made a video thanking Sullivan "for getting behind me."

Dan Savage, here, ponders whether or not the video is legit. And I've been wondering the same thing about another, similar entertainer: Red Hill Mike, a contributor to Philadelphia's Kidd Chris Show.

Several times a week, Mike submits awful, monotone song parodies, nearly all of which include "fag," "homo," and other slurs repeated ad nauseum and directed at various people on the show. It's hard to tell which of the two songwriters, Donnie or Red Hill, is more unintentionally hilarious.
