"I'm Not Not Gay No More" Dude Celebrates One Year Of Being Delivert

Via The Grio:

Andrew Caldwell became an internet sensation last year when he got up to the microphone at a Church of God in Christ conference in St. Louis and declared, “I’m not gay no more!” Today, Caldwell says he has become the target of bullying on social media and has had his good character damaged. “I am tired of people accusing me of various things and trying to damage my character. I’m tired of people trying to take the voice that God has given me and questioning my deliverance,” Caldwell said in a video posted to his Facebook page. “Each and every day, God takes me through a process. And I notice that I don’t switch (my hips) that much, I don’t twerk that much. I don’t do different things — because God can deliver from homosexual[ity],” Caldwell added. “I am delivered, because I am claiming it. I have not touched a man in a year. God took that desire away from me…” Later in Caldwell’s video message, he prays for men and women who are homosexual and begins speaking in tongues.

Jimmy Kimmel Interviews "I'm Not Gay No More" Guy About Yogurt Store Fracas

Via the St. Louis Fox affiliate:

“It’s a good thing you didn’t order hot fudge, huh? That could’ve been really bad,” host Jimmy Kimmel said. “Right, my skin would’ve been burnt,” Caldwell said. The cashier, Stephanie Diaz, was charged with third-degree assault. Diaz denies calling Caldwell a homosexual slur, adding that she is gay. Kimmel said his show contacted her to appear on the program, but her lawyers declined. “Will you be writing a negative Yelp review of the store?” Kimmel said. “Yes, I will,” Caldwell said, adding that he plans to sue the FroYo store. When asked how much he thinks he should get for his troubles, Caldwell plainly responded, “a couple million.” “That’s a lot of toppings,” Kimmel quipped.

"I'm Not Gay No More" Viral Video Dude Involved In Yogurt-Throwing Fracas

So this happened in Missouri:

A heated confrontation at a University City FroYo Frozen Yogurt shop ended with a cashier throwing frozen yogurt on a customer, according to police. Security video from the business shows a customer throwing money at a cashier. Seconds later you can see the cashier throw a bowl of frozen yogurt at the customer. The customer, Andrew Caldwell, said he was trying to get a discount on his yogurt, adding that the cashier called him a homosexual slur. "The bowl hit me all in my face, my nose," Caldwell said.

Caldwell gained some recognition in 2014, when an internet video of him at a church went viral. In the video, Caldwell announced, "I don't like men no more." Caldwell said ever since then, people have attacked him when out in public. He believes the cashier recognized him from the video. However, the cashier tells a different story. Fox 2's Anthony Kiekow asked Stephanie Diaz if she called Caldwell a homosexual slur Thursday. "That is not true," she said. "I am gay." Diaz also said that she had never seen Caldwell's viral video and that he started the confrontation. "He showed me his driver's license, and he was like, 'I need a (expletive) discount, you (expletive)," Diaz said.

The cashier has been charged with third-degree assault. (Tipped by JMG reader Scott)

Church Threatens To Sue "I'm Not Gay No More" Man Over iTunes Release

Via TMZ:

The church where the "I'm Not Gay No More" guy went straight is not only intolerant toward gays, they have an intense dislike for people who steal their tunes. The Church of God in Christ insists Andrew Caldwell call in the lawyers because their now-famous parishioner jazzed up his hilarious moment with background singers and released it on iTunes. A church honcho says they're ordering him to stop hawking the song partly because they own the audio, but also because they feel Andrew is making a mockery of the service ... and that's hilarious. But Andrew's calling BS, telling TMZ he's copyrighted the song. And he says it's his voice and he -- not even God -- can claim ownership of it.

Here's a snippet of the single.

HomoQuotable - Andrew Caldwell

"First of all, I'm delivered. And when I was a homosexual, I never looked at an old man. I would never touch an old man. Like I said, I dated a couple of football players, I dated church people. So I would never ever date a old person. That's not my type. That's nasty. If folks want to know if I'm sleeping around right now and stuff, let me tell you something, I have no tastes for those desires. You know how people were smoking and they stop smoking for years? God took the taste out of my mouth. Trust me, I would NOT ever, ever in my life, touch an old man. Cuz you know why? If you could see me when I was a homosexual, I was a very attractive person. I would never touch - what do I see in an old person? I am delivered, I am set free." - Andrew "I'm Not Gay No More" Caldwell, after being asked if he is romantically involved with the older man with whom he lives. The older man was also on the call.

The above interview was posted yesterday on YouTube by the website Pimp Preacher, which has also published a multi-point refutation of the apparently spreading rumor that Caldwell was paid for his "ex-gay" performance at last weekend's COGIC convention. Included in the post is a declaration of the "truth" about Caldwell's May arrest for insurance fraud:

Truth About The Arrest - A local pastor was invited to Andrews church to preach and lay hands, but Andrew became alarmed when he noticed who the pastor was (because Andrew knew the man to frequent gay bars). To prove his point Andrew tried to get a picture of the man leaving the bar and when the man noticed Andrew trying to get pictures of his car he swerved the car in Andrews direction - thus running over his foot. A police report was filed and Andrew tried to sue the man’s insurance - but the insurance company sided with their customer under the grounds that “Andrew was stalking him.” As a result Andrew was arrested and charged with filing a false insurance claim with specified injuries. Andrew will receive a plea to a lesser charge with 80 hours of community service (non felony) – and this incident will not appear on his record as a felony. This Case was closed today at of 11:10 am cst.

The author of the above-linked Pimp Preacher post goes on to declare that he does not support COGIC, noting that "for four consecutive years I have been their number one critic."
