It Ain’t Over: Yolanda Adams, Chaka Khan and Questlove Speak Out Against Kim Burrell’s Hateful Anti-Gay Sermon [Photos]

Yolanda Adams, Chaka Khan, and Questlove have each turned to social media to speak out against Kim Burrell’s hateful anti-gay sermon from the other night.

In a message shared via Instagram, Yolanda spoke out in defense of Bishop Eddie Long — who Kim Burrell threw under the bus in her sermon.

Yolanda writes:

“As a Person who has Gay Relatives and Friends, I had to put these Words in the Atmosphere to combat the unwarranted and unproven attack on My Friend #BishopLong.
Hateful Words are never profitable to the Cause of Christ in the World. Jesus said “They will know you by your Love.” LOVE YALL”

Chaka Khan took to Twitter to encourage love instead of judgment.

It NEVER fails that ministries promoting judgment & hate have NOTHING 2 do with the divine. LOVE is 4 EVERYONE! #SelectiveMorality

Meanwhile, Questlove went on a rant encouraging Christians to be more ‘Christlike.’

I want Christians to focus on actually being Christlike & compassionate to their fellow man.

I've seen more sermonizing, coldness, hypocrisy, & utter disdain from the Christian community on every issue (justice/women's issue/lgbtq)

No one likes Nagging Hall Monitor. I wanna see less "God's Teacher's Pet" & less "SMH" from christians. And more compassion. That's fair no?

& this isn't solely for Burrell's sermon. The entire 2016 political season I was utterly shocked & dismayed by the high horseness of it all

True. However on race issues, gun control, human rights, environment: I've borderline combed the EARTH to find "the proper voice" #Nada #IJs https://t.co/YoZslA8YnC

Trust I know. I went to a church that taught me Thriller/1999 was demonic in my youth. I know the black church has issues w the hard stance

*facepalm* No Kim No!!

Did you see what Pharrell Williams had to say about it? Kim’s 2016 sure is going out with a bang…

Update: Octavia Spencer added her commentary also.

I agree. We are all God's children equal in his eyes. Hatred isn't the answer. Intolerance isn't the answer.
