Sherri Shepherd Apologizes for ‘Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner’ Comment About Gays

Sherri Shepherd Apologizes for Comment on Gays: ‘I Have No Desire to Judge Anybody’ (Mediaite)

On The View Tuesday, Sherri Shepherd addressed recent comments she made about her views on gay marriage, which she said were wildly misinterpreted, but nevertheless she apologized and said she’s “truly sorry to anyone I’ve offended.”

In that interview, Shepherd said she loves gay people, no matter what her Christian beliefs are, and said yesterday she was quoted out of context to make her appear homophobic.

In that interview, I expressed I was raised as a child to have a certain set of beliefs, but my beliefs have evolved significantly as my own personal relationship with Christ has increased. I believe that love is the greatest of all things, and I have no desire to judge anybody for being who they are. I’m a person of compassion and anybody who knows me knows that I love, I accept, I embrace everybody who has love in their hearts, so I love you.
