One year later, Ray Boltz is still gay

Christian singer Ray Boltz talks about his choice to come out to the world one year ago

One moment can define a man forever. And for Ray Boltz, that moment might have been one year ago.

On Sept. 12, 2008, Boltz told the Washington Blade newspaper he was gay.

Coming out can be a big deal, but it’s rarely news. But for Boltz, an award-winning Christian recording artist, the article sent shockwaves across the Internet and Christian music circles.

“That day is probably the only time in history that Christian fundamentalists ever read the Blade,” Boltz says with a laugh.

Boltz’s decided to come out to a single source so he could avoid being misquoted and could control his message.

“It was a real defining moment. I knew I wanted to come out but I only wanted to do the interview one time,” he says.

Despite being comfortable with his decision, Boltz, 56, never intended to become the “gay Christian spokesman.” He came out privately to his family in 2004 but opted not to record or tour since then.  Now he’s working on his first album of original material since 2004’s The Unchanging Story .
