IN the NEWS - Ray Boltz goes all 1 John 2:19

These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.
1 John 2:19 NLT

"Former singer and songwriter Ray Boltz has ‘married’ his longtime partner, Franco Sperduti, after nearly 20 years together.
Boltz, 72, a prominent recording artist through the late 1980s and

1990s, is perhaps best known for his song “Thank You,” which won the 1990 GMA Dove Award for Song of the Year, as well as “Watch the Lamb”. He briefly retired from music in 2003, separated from his wife, Carol, with whom he had four children, in 2005, and finalized the divorce in 2008.
He reemerged on the music scene in 2010 with his album True, which featured the song “Don’t Tell Me Who to Love,” explicitly defending same-sex relationships. Sometime between 2005 and

2009, he entered into a relationship with his booking agent, Franco Sperduti. 

The couple moved in together and have been together ever since. Boltz retired again in 2023 without releasing another album.
He explained his reasoning for sharing the video in an accompanying upload, saying:

"You see, I used to be in prison. Now, it wasn’t a penitentiary or a county jail kind of prison. It was a prison constructed by religious doctrine and teachings. Teachings that said, ‘you’re not what you feel, you’re what the Bible says you are.’ When Franco came to me, our love set me free." 

Protestia

Before he went astray from his so-called "prison" with his song “Don’t Tell Me Who to Love,”, see what he used to chart with in the 80's and 90's topping the Christian charts long before he and Franco started to hook up.
