Gospel Artist Tye Tribbett Says Homosexuality May Be 'Natural' But It's Not 'God's Best'
By Nicola Menzie, Christian Post Reporter
Tye Tribbett, award-winning gospel recording artist, shared recently that although he agrees that homosexuality may be "natural," he does not consider it is "God's best for our lifestyle, according to the Bible."
Speaking exclusively to Sister 2 Sister magazine about his observations on how some churches approach dealing with congregants who may experience same-sex attraction, Tribbett said he agreed with the interviewer's suggestion that homosexuality was "natural," but made it clear that he does not believe God approves of it.
"There are lots of things that are natural to us that may not be God's best for us," he told the publication, which is featuring his interview in its April issue. "That's my only thing. I'm not saying that homosexuality is not natural. I agree with you that it is. There are several things that come naturally that's not God's best. ' 'No.' Lying came naturally to them."

As a black Christian who doesn’t believe homosexuality is a sin, I’m constantly disheartened to listen some Black Churches and ebony leaders speak out so vehemently against the lifestyle. It’s infuriating and embarrassing to say the least. So it’s refreshing to hear someone so closely connected to the church say something even remotely less homophobic than what we’re used to.
And that’s what gospel artist Tye Tribbett is doing…kind of. In the April issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, Tribbett spoke about homosexuality and why he believes Christians can reach more people through love rather than hate.
In reference to the way pastors deal with homosexuality, Tribbett had this to say:
“I just consider their approach is militant, and I think a lot of times when your sin is not somebody else’s sin, it’s so much easier to condemn. It makes you feel excel about your dysfunctions when another person’s dysfunctions are seemingly worse.”
While Tribbett acknowledged that the church has improved over the years
The double standard of the Church
The Editor, Sir:
I write after reading an article on titled 'Gospel Artist Tye Tribbett Says Homosexuality May Be 'Natural' But It's Not 'God's Best'. I possess been in churches in Jamaica where ministers preach against homosexuality saying that it is 'unnatural'. This makes it a sin.
The issue of sexuality is multifaceted. People are either heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. What comes naturally to a person is dependent on the category in which he/she is classified. With regards to Tye Tribbett, since homosexuality, although natural, is not God's best, I am now asking the question "Is bisexuality God's best?"
The Christian Church has extended demonised homosexuality and has made it to be the worst of all sins. I recently attended a branch of one of the larger denominations in Jamaica and babies were being blessed. From my observation, the parents were not married, hence, they were guilty of fornication. This was overlooked by the minister, who later urged the fathers to "always be offer in your children's lives and don't let anybody teach
First there was Angie & Debbie of the Winans family and then there was Mary Mary, now we have urban(damn neighboring R&B) gospel singer Tye Tribbettspouting off homophobic remarks in his music urging gays and lesbians to come out. News flash to Tye, most of us are already out! I'm joking, but I'm sure you all know that his idea of coming out is very diverse from what we perceive as coming out.
On a recent performance on the BET Gospel Celebration, Tye refrences a scripture from I Corinthians that reads, "no temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is constant, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with temptation will also make the way of ESCAPE, that you may be able to bear it.
In a performance reminiscent of the Britney Spears video "Hit Me Baby One More Time" , Tye and his choir sing and execute choreography that could have easily been created by one of the gayest hip-hop choreographers in L.A. . All of the spectacle is used to grab the audience's attention for the special moment when the "real" message of "deliverance" i
