Brother Chuck...I still say that "The Closer" was more about Dave expressing his experience and acknowledging his transphobia, with his twist of humor, than degrading, bashing, or ridiculing. Regarding the Black Church and LGBTQ community, well...everyone is in an uproar until "they" get the best Minister of Music or soloist in the city. Everyone was fine when IT was just in the choir stand and the YPD, but now IT has come to the pulpit. (Use of "It" like its a thing makes me cringe). "What Is 'Us' Gonna Do?"
