Entertainment: Idol’s Mandisa won’t back gay cause Black Habits Articles American Idol contestant Mandisa Hundley, who was voted off the hit Fox show Wednesday, said she would not perform at an event held in support of homosexuals.

Mandisa, a native of Antioch, Tenn., told Advocate magazine: “Based on what I believe, I’m not an advocate for (being gay), so it’s nothing I would take part in.”

Still, she said in an interview on the magaz i n e ’ s website, she’s “really upset” by speculation she endorses the ex-gay m o v e - ment — a collection of Christian groups that seek to alter sexual orientation.

The speculation stemmed from comments she made on the American Idol website praising author and speaker Beth Moore, of Living Proof Ministries.

Moore’s website has links to groups such as Exodus International that discourage homosexuality.

“It broke my heart,” Mandisa said. “I live my life by the value system that you treat others the way you want to be treated. I let love be my guide. I absolutely hate no one.”

Long a favourite of Idol judges, she said her views “could have contributed” to her surprising elimination. Idol contestants are trimmed weekly based on fan voting.

“Honestly, I’m not sure,” she said. “I’ve heard a lot of different theories about what could have happened and all of ’em sound pretty decent to me.” ASSOCIATED PRESS
