T.D Jakes Gay Son
In February 2009 the son of prominent, anti-gay black televangelist Bishop T.D. Jakes was arrested and charged with indecent exposure. To complicate matters, authorities say Jermaine Jakes exposed himself to two male undercover vice detectives.
The arrest happened when Jakes’ son was trolling Keist Park, a popular cruising spot in Dallas. CBS 11 reports, “The affidavit says Jermaine walked up to one of the detectives at the park with his pants unzipped. He then began to masturbate while making eye contact with the detective, according to the affidavit. The detectives arrested him on a charge of indecent exposure.”
Jakes’ son stands by and does nothing while his father speaks against gays. Jakes knows his son is gay but continues to oppose laws that would protect his gay son. Luckily these were two undercover officers who arrested Jermaine. Not gay bashers who may beat him or possibly worse.
