Here are two blind items, brought to you by: Myra Panache of PANACHEREPORT.COM
You don’t have to be a gospel fan to know who this man is. This famous gospel singer calls homosexuality a sin behind closed doors yet he was in a hushed up scandal involving an underage boy. The information leaked out briefly and then the story mysteriously disappeared. Rumor has it, the boy was paid off and instructed not to go public with the very ugly allegations. This singer continues to use women as “beards” while he’s scoping out men on the sly. His favorite hunting ground is his the gospel workshops across the country (where he sometimes make special appearances). He tries to impress impressionable young men with his fame and money.
This black male singer is so talented with superstar potential but his demons keep holding him back as he continues to struggle with drug abuse and ‘closeted’ homosexuality. He is so unreliable in regard to his career that promoters are reluctant to book him. His representatives say his depression is so severe, that he’s currently having suicidal thoughts.

Elton John…
lol
jkd
Kurt Franklin and that guy who tried to take out his eye? I forgot his name, I think it was Houston.
WHO IS IT?
Eddie Murphy
lol
jkd
2. Maxwell?
Dang! I thought the first one was Hezakia (an em’) and the 2nd one, yeah I could see that this is either Houston or Sisqo (Ya’ll remember him, he was highly suspect and questionable at one time). Oh well, that’s there biz’ness.
Ummmmm iono!!. The first one may be kurt Franklin but I’m clueless about the second. Somebody please enlighten me!
Okay, Had to comment again, WOW, I never heard about Maxwell and Ya’ll are silly with the Eddie Murphy (I hope he’s not trying to sing again, ya’ll remember “Wuzz Up” (with MJ) and “Party all the Time”, lets all pray he’s not trying that stuff again).
Little Richard
lol
jkd
I have no idea…
Ew, though!
I didn’t know Kirk is gay, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
sigh….great.
And the second one, yea, I have no clue.
I can bet right now that THIS post is going to get shut down.
The first is Donny mcClurkin..he’s supposed to be a reformed gay man and blasts homosexuality whenever he can..kirk franklin is just a porn perv..I can only guess it’s Maxwell for the second one
The first I am 100% about cause I read this a while back and then it was mysteriously taken away….
#1 Hezikiah (sp?)I think thats how to spell his name but it is pronounced like that/he’s a gospel singer; Its not Kirk Franklin!
#2 I say DMX!!! dude got issues.
I HATE to admit it but the 2nd one is probably MAxwell
Remember he had a nervous breakdown and had to cancel his tour awhile back and althlough he did sleep with some women (Tweet, Blonde WG from Law&Order, etc.) they NEVER lasted long enough to amount to anything
@bill… It’s very funny you guessing at this using KNOWN Homosexuals as your answers!!!
Yeah, I said Donnie Mc Clurkin too.
I don’t know who the other may be.
I dont know the first one, but I think the second one might be jahiem or ne-yo
Ne Yo
Liberace
Rock Hudson
Wayland Flowers
Charles Nelson Riley
Sheman Helmsley
Barry Manilow
Luther Vandross
Johnny Mathias
lol
jkd
I thought Kurk Franklin was just hooked on porn didnt know he was a homosexual ?
I would like to dedicate this video to all of our Friends in the Rainbow Club.

Donnie McClurkin – The first person who came to mind when the hall of shame was founded. McClurkin is a popular gospel singer who has gone on record claiming that God delivered him from the “gay lifestyle.” He even wrote a book about this. McClurkin’s induction is due to the fact that he speaks out both sides of his mouth. Read on, then you decide:
Donnie said: “What influenced me is seeing people, young people especially, who are being totally decimated in their sexuality. It’s amazing how we turn a blind eye to the fact that our children are directly influenced by what they see and what society portrays as normal living. Homosexuality has really ravished our children. It started in my generation. I was touched by it and I struggled with it and all that for years and there was nobody to deal with it. I started dealing with it in my sermons and even when we do our concerts.” -http://www.familychristian.com/music/interviews/donnie_mcclurkin.asp
“What I say in the book is simply this: If you’re gay, and you’re happy, if you don’t think you need to change, stay just how you are. But there are some people who are in the gay and bisexual lifestyle that are broken . . .” – Donnie McClurkin puts the focus back on traditional gospel – in secular music, The Associated Press, 2005
Don’t be too angry at Donnie. He is obviously concerned with more vital pursuits; like which fur coat and jewelry to wear at the next Stellar Awards.
I say the 1st one is Hezekiah Walker only because I read about this back in February and here is the article…
Hezekiah Walker, a minister of the Pentecostal faith and one of the most renowned Black ministers in America, has left his cloth in dramatic fashion. Due to a controversial life of secret homosexuality, Walker has come out of the closet during an extremely bitter divorce from his longtime wife Monique Walker. According to affiliates close to the family, Monique had long feared there was another side to her husbands sexuality and suspected that her thoughts were confirmed when her husband infected her with a sexually transmitted disease. After confronting Hezekiah about the disease, he fessed up and admitted to carrying on an affair with a man who lives as a t–. Sources also said that Walker forced his wife and children from their home so that he could live together with his gay lover. Walker?s Down-Low lifestyle even more unbelievable because he is one of the biggest Pastors that is totally against gay life. The Grammy Winning Pastor is expected to step down from his post officially next month. Posted by Music News http://www.musicnewsweekly.com on 02/20 at 04:49 PM
As far as the second one, I don’t know for sure who that could be…that one’s a mystery…
As far as how real that article is people I’m not for sure, but I kinda upset me due to how quick people love to condemn others but then you got dirt hiding in your closet as well…sickening…
Jaheim if his recent concerts are any indication because he really doesn’t look the same….but Maxwell is a very strong possibility as well. If he’s unreliable I’d have to go with Maxwell, since Jaheim was just on tour and seemed to make each date.
As for the first…could be so many people…but who does gospel workshops…that must be the clue…
1. not sure
2. Maybe D’Angelo- that brotha been havin problems for a while
#12 I think you’re right about the 1st one. I was hoping it wasn’t Kirk. I knew about his porn problem but I hadn’t heard anything about him being Gay. Donnie on the otherhand looks like he could’ve been a suspect. However, they were reports of Hezekiah but those reports were said to be untrue. I have NO IDEA who the 2nd one is.
In regards to Blind Items.
I tend NOT to believe them….
The First Posting about the alleged Homosexual Gospel Singer being with a young boy…
Well, First and foremost, if this was true, then it would be considered a Crime !!
That person would be Pedophile !!
Any Church/Pastor or Parent in their right mind would have reported it to the authorities…As a matter of fact, if a Church/Pastor or Teacher had KNOWLEDGE of the alleged indiscretion, or even a Hint or Clue of what allegedly happend, and they FAILED to report it, They can be charged with a Crime.
So, If this person is going around approaching young boys for sex…I doubt it highly…All it would take is ONE person to call DYFS (Division of Youth & Family Services).
I would call DYFS on you in a HOT Minute !!!
* Actually it’s my JOB to call DYFS, speaking from my
capacity as a Social Worker..but, anyways
If you NEED to find out who is Gay or Not (If that type of thing is important to you), then you should listen to the Wendy Williams Experience..
Wendy always has sissy’s calling in to report who they just slept with…
Not quite sure about the first one. However, on the second item, I automatically thought Maxwell (I’m listening to him right now), but he has a myspace page that’s supposed to be updated with new music soon. February 13th is the current release date for his new album (a trilogy), and a single is suppose to drop this fall.
But you never know, it could be D’Angelo. One of those two.
bayoubeauti YOURS WAS THE BEST ANSWER I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF D’ANGELO
BILL U GONNA GET ME FIRED…
First one- Hezekiah
Second one- Jaheim…according to wikipedia he feel off on promoting his new album and making new videos bc he has been unreliable in showing up for scheduled events
I think the stories are getting mixed up. I did read a rumor about Hezakiah but I also read that the magazine that published that apologized for doing do. But I did come across this interview with Donnie discussing his homosexual tendencies as a result of being raped by an uncle and cousin. I know I am late but I just found it.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/r...ics/week836/profile.html#
At first I thought Houston but I don’t know.

ALL I CAN SAY IS OOHH WEE! ya’ll have some good speculations, Now I am wondering!
The Stories about Hezikiah Walker is NOT true.
That article that someone posted earlier was false…
You know you can say just about anything on the Internet, and people will take it for being the truth.
Donnie McClurkin is a REFORMED Homosexual
**meaning, he doesn’t swing that way ANYMORE….
He was molested at an early age by a family member.
He talks about it in his DVD & Book :

The Donnie McClurkin Story: From Darkness to Light REVIEWS FROM AMAZON.COM
Just what the doctor ordered, September 12, 2005
Reviewer: Grace Sivels “Sister Grace” (Atlanta, GA) – See all my reviews
This book is a book of healing and encouragement. It gives the reader the comfort of knowing that what took place in their life was not their fault and that it can happen to anybody, … but the idea is to bounce back and move on. Pastor Donnie has taken a very bold and couragous step to let it all out and share his pain, … to reveal the glory of God’s ability to heal and deliver us from our past. Glory to God on this one, because without Him, I doubt it very seriously if Pastor Donnie would have the victory to talk about nor would he have the heart to write about his situation. Thanks to our Father, The Lord God Jehovah and the Man of God, Pastor Donnie McClurkin for such an awesome book. Indeed we can be Victors reather than victims.

Eternal Victim / Eternal Victor is an awesome book.. I’m in the military and i had duty the night i began reading it.. I ended up reading it all before i got off work.. Through his book, he ministered to my heart.. The fact of the matter is that he spoke the truth.. He dwelled on all things that happen in our every day lives.. I was very impressed by this book, and i hope to read all of his other books.. Once again, i recommend this book for anyone and everyone..

Divine Intervention, September 14, 2002
Reviewer: A reader
I just happened to turn on the TV at the perfect time! Donnie
was speaking about his childhood abuse; I could not change the
channel. During his interview I learned about Eternal Victim/
Eternal Victor.
I ordered it and read it cover to cover right away! The book
expressed the torment I knew the man I love had been feeling
most of his life. We were estranged at the time. I prayed for
the courage to let him know that I knew of his childhood abuse.
I decided to let him know by letter and send him the
book. He called me the same day he received it.
His abuse had been something he had never been able to
tell me and I learned about it only through praying to know
and then having the Holy Spirit awaken me in the night to
tell me.
My deepest thanks to Donnie for his courage to write and to the
good Lord above for guiding Donnie to write and getting the book
in front of me. May God continue to bless and instruct him.
I have decided most of our social problems stem from abuse of
children. We do need churches to be more forthright about these
issues. Donnie McClurkin is blazing trails! Hallelujah!
Our homosexual society at least does deserve the right to know
that they are only living half the life they could and that Jesus
will heal all your hurts. Mainstream media has promoted
homosexuality without knowing, much less giving real options or
bibically based facts.
This book has changed our lives. I fully expect things to only
get better for us and all who will read it. I am a woman who
loves an abused child of yesteryear. I intend to stand with
him as his healing continues and he becomes the husband he never
thought he could be to me.

Reviewer: Kala E. Somerville “K. K.” (Bridgeport, CT United States) – See all my reviews
Donnie has an extraordinary testimony and I am greatful he was able to tell it. I recommend this book for it may be able to deliver someone out of the same situation if not similar.

Someone who has openly proclaimed to be a “reformed” gay doesn’t really fit into the description of #1. It’s probably someone totally closeted.
#2 I have no idea who this could be. But even if Maxwell is gay, he doesn’t seem like he has a drug problem or takes his career lightly. Just a thought.
Wow hezekiah walker! Daaaaamn
#5
i use to go to HS with maxwell
and he def was a closet homo back then so maybe ur right
I didn’t know Maxwell had drug issues, that’s my baby, say it aint so. After reading Bill’s post, I’m thinkin it’s Donnie, not Kirk. If he swung that way once, he’ll swing that way again “behind closed doors”.
I have no problem with homosexuality, do you. However, pedophilia is another situation, if he was getting down like that, I’m through with his ass.
Jewel loves the kids
I DON’T think D’Angelo is gay but he is a crackhead
He was fucking Erika Badu for a minute, during that VooDoo album tour
And it’s not Jaheim either… No known drug problem or Gay issues w/ him
I’m pretty sure it’s Maxwell and I REALLY like Maxwell’s music too
@bill… did I hear you right, DID you say “sissy”
Man, I haven’t heard that since X-CLAN was the shit !!!
Well, I don’t know who the first one is, but Donnie’s as good a guess as anybody else. I’ve always felt like once you have truly identified yourself as somebody who is attracted to someone of the same sex, then how do you just become “un-gay”? Maybe you don’t act on the feelings, but you are attracted to who you are attracted to. End of story. I don’t think it’s Kirk, though. He seems like the type that just love a whole buncha women. In clear stilletos with rubber dresses on.
The second one, though, I thought might be Musiq. He just ain’t never seemed 100% right to me. Yeah, I know he was dating India Irie at one time, but………something ain’t right about him.
NOT MAXWELL!!!! I just don’t wanna believe that one.
Something Fierce.
I’m trying to be sensitive to our Homosexual community on CL , so…..
Sissy is a pretty good description..
I hope it’s not offensive…
Musiq is a closet homo. I heard that on Wendy Williams. He was spotted in a gay club by many other gays who couldn’t wait to blab about it. I like Musiq though, but I could definitely see him being homo.
I don’t want to believe Maxwell is gay. SAY IT AIN’T SO. SAY IT AIN’T SO!
Hmmmmm. Very interesting.
I did read that Hezekiah Walker thing. I don’t know if there was a cover up…he very publicly came forward and said it was a rumor started on the internet that just took off. He also said he’s not getting divorced either. As far as I know, he and his wife are still together.
So my guess is Donnie McClurkin. Homosexuality is tough to “overcome” if that’s your goal. In my opinion there is a biological component for a lot of people.
For the other, my guess is Maxwell. Tons of potential wasted. Seems quite flaky. Drugs are D’Angelo’s prob, not closeted homosexuality.
# 37
I think by “young boy” they mean teenager. Like 16,17. Usually the age of consent is 16, so there’s no crime if that was the case. Not saying it’s right, but…
I think the first one is Donnie…and the second one is Houston.
@ 38 U MUST BE OUT YA DAMN MIND…
JAHEIM ASS USE TO COP FROM MY OLD HOOD HEAVY. TRUE STORY.
LMMFAO @ BILL…U GON GET ME FIYAHD LAFFIN @ U, MY DEAR. *KRYIN*
AS FOR THE GOSPEL SINGER, I THINK IT’S EITHER HEZEKIAH OR DONNIE. KIRK IS A KNOWN PORN ADDICT, BUT IT AIN’T HIM. LMAO @ THE RUBBER DRESS COMMENT. 2 FUNNAY.
AS FAR AS THE R&B SINGER, MUSIQ FITS THAT PROFILE. HE JUST LOOK A LITTLE “SLIGHT” TO ME, LOL.
Kirk Franklin and Tevin Campbell
I had heard this about Kirk 2 years ago and I read this about Tevin a few days ago.
Comment #46… I said “Known drug problem”
I’m from the CHI and I haven’t heard anything about Jaheim being a crackhead… Not in print or otherwise
Now if that makes me “out of my damn mind” then I guess I am then
Kirk Franklin is NOT gay…
* Kirk has admited his PAST addiction to pornography a year ago…
Liking Porn & Liking guys is two VERY differant things….
Tevin Campbell is VERY gay
**Tevin actually says that he’se “trysexual”
This article was was taken from Wikepedia about TEVIN CAMPBELL:
Arrest
In 1999, Campbell was arrested after soliciting oral sex from a undercover policeman, and for marijuana residue found in his car.
He was ordered to attend Narcotics Anonymous and an AIDS awareness class after he pleaded no contest to solicitation.
Campbell was also fined $ 1,080.00 for the misdemeanor conviction. He also was ordered to return to court in February 2000 to show proof that he has completed the requirements of his sentence.
First off I had to comment once again. I cried for days when I found out about Tevin Cambell (he was the stuff!!! DANG!!) so I’m praying and I MEAN PRAYING that its not Maxwell, it can’t be. That’s just not fair. I’ll have to take a personal day on that one.
Now the D’angelo (heard about the drug thing and psuedo crazy stints, still love the old D’angelo though) and Jahiem thing is something new as well as the Musiq thing. I can’t believe the Musiq thing, he was the DUDE, come on, I know you all love his songs, I know I do, “Love”, “Just Friends” Man! He had some good stuff. I can’t accept that one, BUT if it was true, I don’t think I would cry like I would for Maxwell.
I mean DANG!!! “Till the cops come knocking”, “Sumptin/Sumptin”, “THIS WOMAN’s WORTH “AHHHHHHH that man made a load of baby making jams. So I’m going into denial with him.
Its not Maxwell….it can’t be… (?)
well beans
im saying it
like i said went to school with him
and if he aint gay i dont know who is…
i wish i could find my yearbook so you can have a looksee
As far as Musiq, I see him perform everytime he comes to DC, and he hasn’t had a problem not showing up so I don’t think it’s him. He does seem like he lacks a little self confidence, but I don’t think he’s gay. It’s probably Maxwell.
Yikes,
You guys made some pretty good points. Well I’m not sure who the gospel singer is but I will have to agree that Donnie & Hezekiah would be out of the pic. IMO, anyway. Donnie already put his self on blast about his past so that just doesn’t fit. And the Hezekiah incident was just plain false.
Quick note: For those of you who are saying once you are gay you cant be “un-gay” are you saying that with God all things are not possible? Are you putting limits on Him? Just a philosophical question. And you dont have to be “religeous” to answer that. If you believe in God then you believe that He is capable of all things.
As for the secong person, I wouldn’t be suprised at Musiq or Jaheim. I dont even want to think about Maxwell in that way and I think yall just pulled D’Angelo out of yall @sses!
1. Donnie McClurkin or Hezekiah Walker
2. Johnnie Gill or Brian McKnight!
Just guessing!
@ Phoenix
Honey I think you are a prime candidate for becoming a victim of the DL epidemic. I’m going to need you to NOT be surprised that Tevin is gay. I mean I love the whole CD “Im Ready” but I knew he was fruitcake from the get go.
For the record Kirk Franklin admitted he was addicted to porn but he never said what kind of porn.
Tevin to this day has not admitted to being gay. I just read the article like days ago I believe it was on Media Take Out. When he was arrested for soliciting sex from that officer he released statements that he was only trying to buy drugs or something of that nature which equates to denial in my book.
Maxwell is definitly gay…
I had read that he had wanted to come out with an album proclaiming his “gayness”…however, the powers that be said hell no. That has been the delay for album release (due to creative differences)……..
Blind Item #1-My vote is on Kirk –come on, look at him…u can tell he got sugar in his tank. Plus the blind item said “u dont have to be a gospel fan to know who this famous singer is”…how many non gospel people know of Hezekiah or Donnie?
Item #2-Clue says “superstar potential”…now of all the people named who do u think may have that it factor? My money is on Maxwell…we aint seen/heard from him in the past few years….it all fits
Think about it…
#2 has got to be Jaheim…#1, I”m thinking Kirk Franklin…maybe.
Comment #50…
What about the “Sumptin/Sumptin” slow-cut version from the Love Jones soundtrack… NOW that was the SHIT For Real !!!
Every single black r&b artist is gay, what the fuck is up with this shit? Tell em to go somewhere, shit is disgusting.
