Hezekiah Walker to step down from Pastoralship

Hezekiah Walker, a minister of the Pentecostal faith and one of the most renowned Black ministers in America, has left his cloth in dramatic fashion. Due to a controversial life of secret homosexuality, Walker has come out of the closet during an extremely bitter divorce from his longtime wife Monique Walker.

According to affiliates close to the family, Monique had long feared there was another side to her husbands sexuality and suspected that her thoughts were confirmed when her husband infected her with a sexually transmitted disease. After confronting Hezekiah about the disease, he fessed up and admitted to carrying on an affair with a man who lives as a transvestite. Sources also said that Walker forced his wife and children from their home so that he could live together with his gay lover.

Walker’s Down-Low lifestyle even more unbelievable because he is one of the biggest Pastors that is totally against gay life. The Grammy Winning Pastor is expected to step down from his post officially next month.

By: Tim Hunter, Founder of musicnewsweekly.com We at musicnewsweekly.com deeply apologize to the family, friends, congregation and Pastor Hezekiah Walker, for allowing ourselves to be pawns of a totally false story that was confirmed by mediatakeout.com. As the founder, I am deeply hurt of the lack of integrity and respect I have allowed to come through Music News Weekly against Pastor Walker. I was given the opportunity to discuss this matter directly with Pastor Walker and offer my sincere apologies……

Poor ole' HW. Why does it appear that there are so many male members of black churches that are gay? I rememeber all of the time that I was in Baptist church choirs and all of the men that just didn't seem too straight to me. I don't have a problem with any person's preference or lifestyle. I just hope that more people will live long enough to learn that GOD works in mysterious ways and that we all have a lot to learn.

It's just too bad that he is a hypocrite that preached one thing and lived another. Shall we revive the Down Low thread?

HELL YEAH!!!! [Heh heh, you said "revive", I get it]

You know, I'm well content to let people do as they please and let G-d sort 'em out. But actions carry responsibilities. HW is responsible to that woman and kids 1st and he gives her an infection and kicks them out of the house to indulge in his SELFISHNESS?
Gay aside. How do you think G-d looks on THAT?

That's my biggest problem with him. Not his choice of lifestyle but in the manner in which it was handled. Whatever problems he and his wife had, he was a father and a husband first if nothing more he has a responsibility to her and the kids to ensure the are safe. Not put them out as if they are some old laundry to be discarded. He handled this wrong if he wanted to be with his lover they could have come to an amicable agreement and he could have made provisions for his family. All he needed to do was be a MAN about his responsibilities.

It is all about the deceit and selfishness that is the worst part about this. It would have been much easier and better for all parties involved if he had come clean about who he truly is a long time ago.

Now, we are burdened to judge his misdeeds.

I hate what he has done to us.

The retraction is based on a first-hand source, Pastor Walker himself. Always research before you post.

HEZEKIAH WALKER AND GAY AFFAIR STORY - FALSE

By: Tim Hunter, Founder

We at musicnewsweekly.com deeply apologize to the family, friends,
congregation and Pastor Hezekiah Walker, for allowing ourselves to be
pawns of a totally false story that was confirmed by mediatakeout.com.
As the founder, I am deeply hurt of the lack of integrity and respect I
have allowed to come through Music News Weekly against Pastor Walker.
I was given the opportunity to discuss this matter directly with Pastor
Walker and offer my sincere apologies for allowing such a terrible
thing to take place. In doing so, it was clear to see the strength of
god in the middle of total evil.

Pastor Walker, in total wholeness, accepted my apologies. For those
that don’t understand how powerful that is, let me offer a deeper look
at what this man has suffered because of this story. Pastor Walker is
man who built a reputation of solid integrity and respect, worked very
hard for all that he has, and inspires many through song and word. A
man who speaks to uplift and does so with his own actions. But, one
story, which was derived most likely from one sick individual, almost
caused destruction to all that he has built. A great many people are
familiar with Pastor Walker in all that he truthfully represents.
Thanks to a young lady within his church named Nicollette, I was able
to dig deeper to find what everyone else already new. Pastor Walker is
a HETEROSEXUAL MALE who was the chosen victim of total stupidity on
behalf of many.

As for myself, through the shame that goes with the territory, express
the fact that I am very apologetic to all. I find it very troubling
that this fictional story caught my attention and that of other media
outlets, but the Pastor Walker program dedicated to influencing gang
members from Bloods & Crips to turn in their guns went unheard. I now
see this as a blessing and opportunity to actually tell the story of a
man and some of the great things about him. We will do a profile story
on Pastor Hezekiah Walker and let the world read about his real life.

Wow! My bad. HOWEVER, my comments still stand for anyone guilty of comparable selfishness.

Posted by on 02/27 at 08:29 AM | #

Well music news should check out there stories before they put them out there for the world to see.

Posted by on 02/28 at 10:16 AM | #

The question still remains as to who first reported the story to Musicnewsweekly. That person should be named.

There is a post on their site from someone who claims to know the minister personally and that the minister is DL for sure.

All I know is that you've kept me busy over the past few days, Loni.

Thanks for the publicity!
