Porsha Williams Apologizes For Anti-Gay Sermon: ‘God Loves All Of His Children’

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."
