Texas Southern University is ending Kim Burrell’s radio show “Bridging the Gap” after publicity gained by her anti-gay comments, KTRK reports.

The weekly show debuted in June 2016 and promised listeners Burrell’s “unique take on music, life and society” in a station press release. The show aired Sunday afternoons on the university’s radio station KTSU.

The Houston Chronicle also reports that Burrell’s television talk show “Keep It Moving with Kim Burrell” on CW is no longer listed on the station’s log. The show was started in September.

The controversy started when video of Burrell giving a virulently homophobic sermon surfaced last week. “I came to tell you about sin. That sin nature, that perverted homosexual spirit, and the spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women. You as a man, you open your mouth and take a man’s penis in your face, you are perverted. You are a woman and will shake your face in another woman’s breast, you are perverted.”

1. That goddamn free market and all that...

[1965Comet]

2. GOD

"You as a man, you open your mouth and take a man’s penis in your face, you are perverted. You are a woman and will shake your face in another woman’s breast, you are perverted.” "

I wish my old church had shit like this! Would have been waaaaaaay more interesting!

[Cirque du So-What]

32. What about trollops

shaking their little BEE-hinds in front of the men-folk? Doesn't that constitute a greater threat to domestic tranquility than pondering all the possible permutations of things people are doing with their fiddly-bits?

[Botany]

3. "Me thinks the lady doth protest too much."

"You are a woman and will shake your face in another woman’s breast*, you are perverted.”

As a dull ass straight guy everytime somebody goes into the mechanics of a sex act that
they find so wrong my gaydar goes off.

* BTW the proper term is motorboating.

[PatSeg]

7. Yeah

Awfully specific imagery there. A little too obsessed with people's sexual acts I think.

[Botany]

8. Everytime I hear, "then they do this and then they do that thing with their fingers as the other ...

... person moans ..... " I think that they are either actively gay or sure have a
strong interest in gay sex. I have found a really easy way to stop myself from
being gay and that is I don't have sex w/men.

[PatSeg]

9. Obsession with other people's private

sex life, gay or straight, comes across as rather revealing to me, as well as a great waste of time. There are so many urgent issues one could preach about--poverty, disease, homelessness, hunger, violence, war--but she chooses gay sex? Maybe she should try some therapy instead.

[hibbing]

19. It is very weird

I don't care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes. I think the word obsession is appropriate, I'll never understand it.


Peace

26. Seems in this day and age with all the publicity about transgender/gay bathroom laws . . .

people would be more sensitive to preaching about so-called perversions — smart people that is.

[VWolf]

11. Motorboating, eh? I guess I learn something new every day! n/t

[Lochloosa]

12. Varoom...Varoom

[brush]

27. Any videos links on that breast thing, just for research of course?

[underpants]

4. "take a mans penis in your face"

[TlalocW]

5. I saw the outrage from her fans

When Ellen canceled having her on her show. Their heads must be exploding now.

6. hey, practice your religion all you want

but be prepared for others to disagree with you

You have no right to force your views on others

[VWolf]

10. "Bridging the Gap" ???

I guess the irony of her statements is lost on her.

[Hortensis]

13. Good. She has a right to her beliefs, but media

helping her assault others with them is a whole different matter.

[Skittles]

14. GOOD

she is DISGUSTING

[hatrack]

15. Good!

[Quackers]

31. Haha

That cat

[Leghorn21]

16. So has Pence booked her to sing at the ignoration yet? N/t

[Paladin]

17. Good.

She won't have to go hungry---there's a big Hate For Jesus market out there, unfortunately.

[Phoenix61]

18. Awesome!

Maybe she'll crawl back under the rock she came out from under. Kinda like playing whack-a-mole. I get so annoyed when people cherry pick the bible. They use the parts that support what they believe and conveniently ignore everything else. Argh!!!

[wolfie001]

20. What she said was vile and inflamatory!

Inexcusable! Kudos to Ellen for standing firm in the face of all that organized religious hatred!

[bullwinkle428]

21. "But I swear...Jesus hates all the same people I do! The Bible told me!!1!"

[Nitram]

25. But I really, really, really had to look hard for those brief passages in the good book.

And then I had to pretend I hadn't read about the other behavior that was equally condemned, like eating shellfish or pork.

[Liberalagogo]

22. For Kimmy:

[FlyByNight]

23. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence

Hope her rant was worth it.

For someone allegedly so godly, she seems awfully concerned with graphic depictions of sexual encounters. Interesting.

[Nitram]

24. She seems to revel in her personal images of gay intimacy.

Maybe these are the thoughts that occupy her during her moments alone with a little auto-erotic behavior.

[jmowreader]

28. I have no way to exploit this idea, so it's free to all who can

It occurs to me that you could make a LOT of money producing gay porn inspired by the rantings of homophobic preachers.

[texasfiddler]

29. I can't believe she totally skipped anal!

What's wrong with her? HeHe

[Gothmog]

30. Yeah for Houston
