SOUTHERN GOSPEL SGER KENNY BISHOP IS NOW A GAY UNED CHURCH OF CHRIST PASTOR

Ltle did I know that Kenny had strayed far om his Fundamentalist Christian roots and was now a married gay man and a bivotnal pastor at Bluegrass Uned Church of Christ  Lexgton, Kentucky!

Talk about fdg the unexpected — a liberal, gay Kenny Bishop.

However, to disver pro-homosexual activi among the so lled psalmists, should shock Southern Gospel’s fahful. This article will only touch a ltle rner of this wispread problem, specifilly the most visual, yet ignored, homosexual and pro-homosexual artists.

WHO'S GAY GOSPEL MIC?

Back 2006 Kirk “Is he Gay or not” Talley shared the Open Door stage wh Joyce Mart of the Marts. However, jt like Kirk, Kenny’s road to revery led right through a gay spot near old Ltle Rock. For those who don’t know eher, they are both pro-homosexual “misters”.

When you read the summary of his “ttimony” you will see why a ant gay group would agree to the terms. One thg that was new to me was the admissn that homosexualy had broken up his marriage. The three prised the Talley Tr Talleys rrected 3/29) knew that Kirk was gay for almost 20 years before the sndal broke.

No regrets of homosexualy breakg up his marriage, drivg away his sister, or g his lifelong prsn.

GEIA MEGACHURCH PASTOR REVEALS HE'S GAY

” I thought was bee he was ntactg gay men wh pornographic pictur of himself orr to “discs” his hidn gay sir! In ttimony language meetg gay men onle wh lewd photographs of onelf orr to act upon his sodome urg while you ntue to ceive the church is translated as, “fdg someone to talk to. When he answered that he had been at a gay church, his spirual advisor asked him, “aren’t you aaid to sg there?

” Kirk arrogantly repli, “When he said that I jt kda… I jt kda snapped, (crowd lghs) I said, ‘LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, I’ve sung to gay people all my life’ I said, ‘They’ve jt been hid, your ngregatn, and on your staff, and on, and your choir, no I’m not aaid to sg there.

’ I said, ‘how nsistent would be of my ttimony if I said, “no I n’t go and sg” (homosexual crowd claps). Evintly the nversatn shifts to money and Kirk basilly tells him that the homosexual church took re of him while a nearby straight church wouldn’t even pay for his hotel room. The headler was the pro-homosexual Patti Labelle.
