Shock announcement from Kings X frontman Doug Pinnick
IN A SHOCK revelation which has shaken the Christian music world. King's X frontman Doug
Pinnick has openly declared himself gay. In a recent interview in
Regeneration Quarterly Magazine, Pinnick came out publicly with some
startling truths about himself and his lifestyle. The veteran singer,
who has fronted King's
X for a decade, said: "I never denied being gay. Nobody asked. I
didn't want to be this way. I fasted and prayed, begged God to change
me, did everything I could. I even became celibate and was miserable
and lonely and desperate for love... But I've always been a person who
told the truth. If the truth will set you free, then be honest, be
true." Pinnick believes his adult sexual struggle has roots in
childhood sexual abuse and the lack of a father. In spite of the pink
triangle placed strategically on his bass guitar Pinnick denies he is
ready to join the gay rights movement.
