BEVERLY HILLS, Aprill 03, (THEWILL) – Popular Gospel singer, Donnie McClurkin, has opened up again concerning his sexuality.
McClurkin, speaking in a recent episode of TV One’s Uncensored, stated that he had had relationships with men and women in the past and he feared he might end up alone for the rest of his life.
The 61-year-old Grammy Award winning singer had previously talked about his past struggles with homosexuality, which he described as a “perversion,” saying that he was able to suppress his sexual orientation.
However, he admitted that he still had urges to be with men but he decided not to.
Comparing homosexuality to diabetes the singer said: “I don’t eat sugar, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t want sugar.”
He stated that he believes his struggle over his sexuality will make him not have the family he always wanted.
He said, “I didn’t know really what a woman wanted. I’ve messed up more than I’ve had good. My past relationships were a sprinkling of everything – men and women.
“When things get rough I go back into my safe place – my music and my ministry.
“Never having a long-term relationship in my life and never being married, I chalked that up. I will probably be alone for the rest of my life as far as a mate is concerned.”
