Angie And Debbie Winans aim for the truth to be heard

A STORM of controversy has greeted the release of an album by US R&B gospel duo Angie And Debbie Winans. The song "It's Not Natural" from the duo's 'Bold' album has drawn fire from the gay community with articles in gay newspapers and subsequently radio and TV. Said Debbie Winans, "We're not trying to bash anybody. We're bringing the Word to the people. It's time that truth had the same platform as wrong." The song, written by both women, was inspired by TV programming. "We're sick of the Devil pushing wrong, especially on TV.
Ellen's 'coming out' was the last straw," Debbie said. CR
