Speaking with The Grio Kirk Franklin said, “I want to apologise 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.”
“The Bible is not a book that’s an attack on gay people, It’s not a book written to attack gay people.”
Kirk Franklin added, “It is horrible that we have made it where the Bible is a homophobic manual. That’s not what the Bible is.”
The father of two highlighted and believes that God sent Jesus to save all people, regardless of their sexuality.
“I mean you want to talk about things that God gets at … pride and jealousy and envy and arrogance.”
“But what we also see is God sending his son to save us all, because we were all … straight, gay or whatever, lost and in need of a savior, and there’s room at the cross for all of us.”
