How Gay Gospel Artists Left a Tainted Legacy- From Holy to Not At All [Part Three]

This is Part 3 which we will explore a gay gospel artist and minister and his part in starting a gay revolution in the black church by pure disobedience.

This is presumably the last part of our series: How Gay Gospel Artists Left a Tainted Legacy For Today’s Generation. We do not plan to add to this series as we feel this may complete the subject… for now. We will discuss a very important issue about how gay gospel artists emerged. We will specifically focus on one corner of the country that made a huge impact on gospel music and the gay culture in the church.

Jamie’s Great Grandfather, The Late Bishop E. E. Cleveland Ordained Bishop Walter Hawkins

In our last article, we informed you that Jamie Hawkins has it in his blood to be righteous, simply because he is the great grandson of the late Bishop E. E. Cleveland, his mother, Tramaine’s grandfather.   Bishop E. E. Cleveland, pastor of Ephesians COGIC was a dynamic anointed man of God who preached holiness and did not back down for anybody, so this is why Jamie Hawkins will not bow down to the Board of Trustees who are trying to carry on the gay affirming ministry of the Love Center Church.   You maybe wondering why if the late Bishop E. E. Cleveland ordained the late Bishop Walter Hawkins, why did he carry on a gay affirming church?   The answer is very simple, once you get caught up in homosexuality, especially in a ministry, sometimes it is difficult to turn it around without the flock, threatening to leave, which was the attitude when his son confronted the board of trustees who had members who admitted to being homosexuals.
