In a surprising turn of events, Kim Burrell issued an apology to the LGBTQ community. 

While accepting the Aretha Franklin Icon Award at the 2024 Stellar Awards the singer and pastor offered the following expression of regret:

Some of my past words, comments, preaching…has been received by the LGBTQ+ community as negative and hurtful.

There’s nothing more hurtful than to think … to imagine that you’ve said something in the name of God and it hurt somebody.

You know we have a church lingo and a church jargon that everybody doesn’t get and sometimes you have to say it for the people in the back…and for that 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 we must all do the work to embrace all of God’s people and show forth His love to everyone.

Amen.

I hope this award and this moment can be the beginning of a bridge building and listening to each other.
