Gospel legend Kirk Franklin is speaking from the heart, and this time, hes tackling something bigger than musiclove, acceptance, and breaking the stigma around sexuality. In a candid conversation, Kirk opened up about his son Kerrion and made it clear he has never had a problem with his sons bisexuality. Ive never understood homophobia, he said. I am a lover of every human. I love people. I love people. Thats always been me. He explained that being a parent isnt about agreeing with every choice your child makesits about unconditional love. I told my son, there will never be any situation in your life that I will ever, ever stop loving you. I will love who you love, and I will stand where you stand. At the end of the day, thats my son and aint nobody gonna take my son away from me. Kirk also reflected on how society often tries to put Christian leaders in boxes, expecting them to be perfect. But he says he has never let the cloth determine his humanity. Just because Im a Christian singer doesnt mean Im not human, he said. Ive always allowed myself to be seen as human, and thats how I want to be with my family and my son. The gospel star went on to speak against the judgmental culture many still hold toward the LGBTQ+ community. If homosexuality is a sin, then adultery is a sin. Fornication is a sin. Divorce is a sin. None of them are bigger than the other. Ive never understood why we single out some people for judgment. We all need grace. Even more, Kirk reflected on his own experiences growing up, when his sexuality was questioned in middle and high school because of his love for fashion and the arts. Yet, he always stayed true to himself while remaining compassionate toward others. Ive always been loving and compassionate to people. Thats who I am, he said.Watch video below..
