Kim Burrell isn’t really America’s favorite person right now,  but there are some people in the world who support her.

The legendary gospel singer’s viral anti-gay sermon even cost Burrell her chance to perform on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show after Ellen cancelled the singer’s appearance. But for all the hate the Burrell has been getting, there are people who believe that what she said is credible.

After quoting a few Bible verses, the petition concluded, “Stand fast on the word of God. Thanks for speaking truth to a dying a world. True Believers in Jesus Christ!” People even took to Twitter to defend the star, tweeting things like:
