Kirk Franklin Apologizes to Gay Community for Church's Homophobia

FUSE TV - Kirk Franklin Apologizes to Gay Community for Church's Homophobia

Kirk Franklin, a veteran gospel artist and seven-time Grammy winner, apologizes to the LGBT community in a new interview, saying that the black church has piled homophobia and other "horrible crap" on people with alternative lifestyles.

Franklin, who is supporting a new album titled Losing My Religion, says of the gay community in a new interview with TheGrio.com, "I want to apologize for all of the hurtful and painful things that have been said about people in the church that have been talented and gifted and musical, that we’ve used and we’ve embarrassed… and all this other horrible crap that we’ve done … We have not treated them like people. We’re talking about human beings, men and women that God has created.
