Singer/songwriter Jennifer Knapp tells interviewer she is gay

AMERICAN singer/songwriter Jennifer Knapp, who recently returned to the music scene after a seven-year hiatus with the 'Letting Go' album, has revealed in an interview with Christianity Today magazine that she is a lesbian. Responding to the interviewer's comment that the singer had left music because she was gay, Knapp replied, "That was a straw [in my decision], but there were many straws on the camel's back at the time. I'm certainly in a same-sex relationship now, but when I suspended my work, that wasn't even really a factor. I had some difficult decisions to make and what that meant for my life and deciding to invest in a same-sex relationship, but it would be completely unfair to say that's why I left music." In the same interview the singer revealed that she is not currently attending a church.
