I did some research on the cartoon of Bishop Eddie Long and it turns out he is a pastor of an Atlanta Megachurch who allegedly lured 4 boys into sexual relations with him. He is also an anti-gay activist. So the cartoon with him in it is showing the hypocrisy of the situation. He's against homosexuals, yet had sexual relations with 4 boys. This also plays into our religion theme- he's Christian.
Some articles I found:
