Once again, Porsha Williams is in the hot seat.
  This time, it's for a sermon she gave in 2010,
  where she said gays and lesbians need "saving."
"We Christians are supposed to be telling the
  hooker on the street, the drug dealer…the gays,
  the lesbians — we're supposed to be trying to
  save them and tell them, 'You are worthy,'" she
  said in the clip filmed at Georgia's High Praise
  Christian Center Ministries roughly three years
  ago.
Of course the footage from Porsha's preaching
  days spread like wildfire, and in response she
  issued an apology to the LGBT community
  today. 
"First let me say that God loves all of his
  children," the reality star stated. 
"And although
  some people discriminate against others because
  of their race, their religion, their sexual
  orientation, their status in life…we're all worthy
  of God's love."
She went on to say that the video clip was taken
  out of context. "The sermon was shown not in
  its entirety, therefore the message was
  omitted," she explained. 
"I apologize that those
  words hurt the LGBT community, my fans, and
  my supporters. 
Life is a journey, and I'm
  growing every day."
  "I continue to encourage everyone to love each
  other unconditionally," she added.
Fellow "RHOA" star Cynthia Bailey commented
  on Porsha's pulpit rant and called the message
  "ignorant and insensitive."
"To put gays and lesbians in the same category
  as drug dealers, hookers, and people who
  attempt suicide is ignorant and insensitive," she
  told TMZ . 
"Especially when she just recently
  profited from performing at a popular gay club
  in NYC."
Gay cast member Miss Lawrence added, "I think
  some women use the community as a
  convenience … i.e. for gay slang, fan base
  building, and beauty security," he shared. 
"But
  like always, true character always reveals."
