Who's gay in Gospel music?
I watch the Gaither Reunion shows from time to time and I have to state there seem to be a number of flamers in the gospel earth. Mark Lowry, for one.
Who else?

Cynthia Clawson isn't gay but she's very lgbtq+ positive, apparently. She's taken a lot of heat from the more conservative fundamentalist elements of the gospel earth but she's sticking to her guns. Beautiful voice, too. Interesting that Bill Gaither chooses to include and highlight her all the time.
Vestal Goodman also loved the gays, apparently. She's seemed like a big-hearted loving sort of woman who truly loved everyone.

Not quite gospel, but what about Mchael Tate? He pinged great time when he was in DC Talk. So did TobyMac for that matter. Wish both would be gay.

That guy who hosts the gospel display on BET sure seems gay.

Kirk Talley. He admitted to sending out nude pics a scant years ago because he was about to be blackmailed. Pretty much destroyed his career in
Andraé Crouch and the power of the Cross
Few gospel artists have worked with personalities of the stature of Michael Jackson or Madonna. This, however, was one of the claims of Andraé Crouch, who died from a heart attack on 8 January, aged 72. He was the author of many of the songs that are sung in churches today and he collaborated with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Quincy Jones, Diana Ross and Ringo Starr. In the seventies, Elvis Presley recorded one of his songs, “I’ve got confidence”, and Paul Simon performed “Jesus Is The Answer” in his concerts. So how did he develop so influential?
According to his biography, “Through It All” (1974), Andraé was born in Compton, Los Angeles, in 1942 – although many websites say that he was born in San Francisco–. He has a twin sister, Sandra, who won a Grammy in the 1980s, having played the tambourine for many Motowns recordings at the first stage of the 1970s. His parents owned a dry cleaning business and a restaurant in Los Angeles, but they also preached on the street and visited hospitals and prisons to disseminate the gospel. In 1951, they founded the Christ Me
Outlaw's Evidence of the Unseen
It’s all things gay and Christian in this episode, with a specific stare at the history of the ex-gay movement and reparative therapy. What undertake Tim and Ray contemplate about Biblical infallibility and the “clobber verses”? What about the concept of deliverance? Is gay self a choice or are we born this way? Is ex-gay identity a fallacy? Is the “decision” to change one’s sexual orientation really just the result of coercion? Tim and Ray review a pair of documentaries on the subject, including the new-ish Netflix film Pray Away, and take to task the narratives of former ex-gay church leaders who have now embraced their queer identities. There are a few emphasis points along the way: Dave Chappelle, the bond between anti-science and anti-LGBT rhetoric in the church, Donnie McClurkin, exvangelicalism, and the problem with leaders models and the influence structures in affirming LGBT faith spaces that mirror their conservative counterparts.
