Jennifer knapp

Jennifer knapp, Jennifer Lynn Knapp (born April 12, 1974 in Chanute, Kansas) is a Dove Award-winning Christian folk rock musician. Jennifer knapp, Jennifer Knapp is not only coming out with a brand new album, she is also “coming out,” a term the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter considers “very bizarre” as she nervously relaunches her career.

The 36-year-old Kansas native, who dated men in the course of her college days, is braced for a backlash from religious fans who faithfully shot down whispered rumors about her sexuality more than the years. About the other hand, she mentioned in a recent interview with Reuters, “I’m definitely getting a lot more friendly winks from the girls (at her concerts) than I have in the past!”

No other singer of Knapp’s renown in the Christian music genre is openly gay. Within the previous, the industry looked dimly on people who deviated in the straight and narrow. Radio stations and retailers quickly dropped Sandi Patty and Michael English right after they admitted to (separate) extra-marital affairs in the course of the 1990s. Amy Grant was also blacklisted when she went through a divorce later that decade. All have since been forgiven to varying degrees.
