Three-time Grammy Award winning Gospel Singer, the formerly gay Donnie McClurkin says that he will probably end up alone because he doesn’t know how to be in a relationship with a woman. Despite McClurkin’s claims of “reversing his gay orientation”, with the help of will power and prayer – the Reigning King of Urban Gospel says he just doesn’t know what women want.
“I didn’t know how to have the relationship. I didn’t know, really, what a woman wanted…I didn’t know how to do this.”
In a 2002 article, the 61 year old famed gospel singer wrote that because of incidents of childhood molestation and pornography, he turned “gay”. But through his claims, he was able to overcome that “curse” – through god and prayer. Since then, he has condemned homosexuality and says if the power of prayer worked for him in reversing his gay, it can work for others too. The controversial remarks did land McClurkin in hot water, resulting in cancellations of tour dates and performances.
It was reported in 2016 that McClurkin was dating fellow gospel singer, Nicole C. Mullen. The two were even quoted as saying they were on the road to marriage. But there have been no sightings of the two together in recent times.
“My past relationships are a sprinkling of everything, men and women. I don’t know how to do this…I’ll probably be alone for the rest of my life as far as a mate is concerned.”
McClurkin is featured on the upcoming episode of TV One’s Uncensored, where he discusses his career, sexuality and dating life.
Do you Donnie McClurkin is suppressing his sexuality or did the power of prayer really help him overcome his “gay curse?”

Donnie I’ll be with you. I’m Bi-sexual and enjoy swinging
It probably feels smart to make such ancient comments however it shows how ignorant some people are of what God REALLY does. There are many animals that participate in same-sex encounters of all kinds from rubbing and petting to full on intercourse. The male seahorses get pregnant and give birth. Just like there are some humans that appear cis-male on the outside but have actual internal female reproductive organs, humans appearing cis-female on the outside who are born with vaginas, undescended testicles in the abdominal cavity, and no female reproductive organs. These are just some variations that GOD makes. (Because barring test tube and cloning scenarios, only God creates life, right?) Just as people are different in how they APPEAR gender-wise, people’s brains (which we cannot see) can be what we consider different from the “norm”. (Whatever the hell “the norm” is…) I say all this to say that people are born however they are born and who and what they are is not for us to judge. We give people labels because it helps us identify with our tribes. Also because it helps us look down on people who are different, if that is who WE are. That Old Testament thinking is for a time that is well past. The naysayers about people’s “lifestyles” are the same ones stealing, lying, committing adultery, bearing false witness, etc. AND I have never seen a commandment on the list of 10 about LGBTQUIA people being unacceptable to God. Something to think about…
Just marry a tranny. Problem solved
Judge ye not! That’s what all of the Christians are doing, judging. His heart and soul wants a man but because of this condemning society he can’t be happy and make money. If he wouldn’t be judged he would be freely who he wants to be. Yet he has to suppress who he is in order to survive.
It’s sad that someone will have to be alone forever because of his faith. A book written by men from the view of men. Homosexuality has been an issue since the beginning of time….once we accept the fact that it isn’t a “choice” or u can’t pray it away then the healing will start. A person should not have to live a life of continuous pain and loneliness because of the rules written in a book by a man.
It very selfish for a 61-year-old to want to start a family that he will likely be unable to raise. Also, doesn’t he already have a son and an adopted daughter?
Donnie’s music has been a great blessing! Christian singles don’t have to give an explanation about why they are not married just as Christian married people don’t have to explain why they married. I believe in the power of God and it’s not too late for him to marry if he chooses. Just communicate with her.
I pray God in His infinite Mercy permanently set you free Donnie Mc. Your heart is desiring it and it shall be fulfilled in Jesus Christ mighty name Amen. You will start knowing how to have relationship with a Lady and get married. You will be set free permanently forever. My heart yearns for you because am a mother of a young man that had similar experience like yours when he was around 7 years and I’m believing for his total deliverance in Jesus Christ mighty name Amen
Self-denial and self-control are the first tenets of the The Lord’s teaching.
It is called “Renewal of mind” and “subduing fleshly desires”.
Indeed, without self-control we cannot live the life Christ calls us to.
He’s married to his music. That simple
He’s married to his music.
It’s simply called bisexuality!
Get over it!
