Ellen DeGeneres has said Kim Burrell will not appear on her show after the gospel singer made homophobic comments.
Burrell referred to "the perverted homosexual spirit" during a sermon at a church in Houston, Texas.
She had been due to sing with Pharrell Williams on The Ellen DeGeneres Show later this week.
But the talk show host, who is a well-known advocate of gay rights, tweeted: "For those asking, Kim Burrell will not be appearing on my show."
'No excuses'
DeGeneres had been asked by fans to cancel Burrell's planned appearance and an online petition was launched.
In a video published after the sermon, Burrell said: "I love you and God loves you but God hates the sin in you and me."
The singer said she made "no excuses or apologies" for her comments.

Bake the cake, Ellen! Did Burrell actually intend to go on the show or is this just Ellen pulling a publicity stunt?
Wonder if Ellen would get the message if folks shipped her boxes of cake mix?
Maybe leave cake recipes on the social media.
I was pleasantly surprised. This is a beautiful song. Inspirational, uplifting, and musical. Actual music, where the singer carries an actual tune, with a voice trained as a musical instrument. I realize there are other actual musical songs out there, but you have to wade through so much rap-infested garbage to find it, I gave up searching long ago.
After watching the video, I read through a few of the comments, upvoting the good ones. Most of the comments were positive, supportive comments. They don't need FReeping, but it never hurts.

It appears to me that Kim Burrell didn’t know how to politely decline the DeGeneres invitation and still save face.
You mean I get a whole minty new set of rights if I stick my thing in the wrong knothole in the fence?
That Constitution really is something!
Indeed there is not. SSAD, Same Sex Attraction Disorder, needs to be treated and not celebrated.
Fakest of fake moment of the campaign: Ellen and her guests planting tongue firmly in cheek (unfortunate pun) and claiming that Hillary Clinton was ‘really funny.’
Well, the corpse was pretty funny in “Weekend at Bernie’s.”
Yes, and we pray for the lost. Sadly, considering her hard, widely public/international support of homosexuality, I don't expect to see her change positions; that would mean she was wrong before, and proggies just don't allow that. But, epiphanies and heart changes are do happen...
“... no excuses or apologies ...”

Still a bit naive — she should have seen this coming.
I highly doubt that fans were clamoring for this as the articles says. Not a fan of Ellen; she blatantly used her show as Hillary propaganda this year.
There it is. It wasn't news, and still isn't, until Ellen made it so. This further proves gays have a mental problem in that they crave and MUST have attention and they'll get it any way they can. That's why so many actors are gay.
Ellen: The Friendly Degenerate
For someone like Ellen Degenerate or even my harden sister-in-laws, I wouldn’t bother. Not because I don’t want them to be saved, but because I don’t think they are ready to listen and it would do more harm than good. Hopefully, I can be a living testament and inspire them. Maybe one night they wake up from being passed out drunk and there is some Televangelist that says something that makes them at least think about it.
Ellen Degenerate is... (redundancy Alert)
ABC and the Degneris show are private entities. They have no legal mandate to “free speech”, anymore than a Christian conservative owned enterprise, which could, legally, cancel an invite to an entertainer advocating a view they did not like. Liberty is Liberty.
She is very tolerant. I’m surprised she did not suggest she should have her face smashed in.
Of course, you are correct. I suggest, however, that if you were tied to a chair and forced to watch one episode of her sitcom, Ellen, you'd be clamoring to have her exiled to a desert island in the South Pacific.
She is also said to be very nasty to her staff.
When it come to homosexuality, it is not enough to be tolerant of it (which most people are), homosexuals demand an endorsement of their life style.
