Seeking to defuse a controversy, the Barack Obama campaign added an openly gay minister, the Rev. Andy Sidden, to a Sunday South Carolina gospel concert tour that also includes the Rev. Donnie McClurkin, who says that homosexuality is a choice and that God directed him away from being gay.
Gay groups are calling for the Obama campaign to drop McClurkin from the tour, despite Sidden's addition.
