Kim Burrell and homophobia

I had read various pieces online about a US singer called ā€˜'#Kim Burrell and eventually looked into it further as #Ellen had issues with it, indeed, some were saying sheā€™d effectively killed her own career. Thatā€™s a shame because, well, people say stuff because they believe it often times itā€™s because someone else convinced them and perhaps something happened in their life which triggered the response. In hers I understand that a partner left her for a homosexual relationship, that must have been quite devastating. Anyway, I feel my own experience is one which, when shared might not change the minds of those so convinced but could be enough to make them think and what I am sharing with you now is what I wrote on Ms Burrellā€™s Facebook wall. Some may not recognise it as me but then, a lot donā€™t know me as well as I would wish they did. Anyway, here is a paste of it and please, overlook any typos, it wasnā€™t meant to be perfect, just from the heart. I cannot get into a debate with you...
