Nobody walking this earth is perfect and when we make a mistake it is how we handle it is what makes the difference. Life is about building bridges and getting over them. Kim Burrell in the spirit of building a bridge issued a public apology to the LGBTQ community.
Gospel singing great Kim Burrell while accepting the Aretha Franklin Icon Award this past weekend at the Stellar Awards took the opportunity during her acceptance speech to apologize to the LGBTQ community after years of controversy surrounding a sermon she did in 2017 when she said “Anybody in this room who’s dealing with the homosexual spirit, beg God to free you. Play with it in 2017; you’ll die from it,”
“I want to apologize to the LGBTQ community,” “Let’s give them a great big round of applause. We want them to have strength and to sincerely know that we must all do the work to embrace all of God’s people and show forth His love to everyone. I hope that this award and this moment can be the beginning of a bridge-building and listening to each other as we follow peace with all man and develop the character of God, which requires seeing God.”-Kim Burrell 2024 Stellar Awards
