From Ebony.com:
Oft-criticized singer Fantasia Barrino recently took to Instagram to address her critics.
I Rise ABOVE IT ALL!!! THE WORLD IS GONE MAD. KIDS, THE GOVERMENT, THE church House… Everybody Trying!!!!!!! Its a lot that going on that the Bible speaks about we should Not be doing. Weed legal in some places, Gay Marriage Legal BUT YET IM JUDGED!!! Im not doing Nothing for you… My Life!!!!
While making a point about being judged, rising above criticism, and owning the choices she makes in her life, many took offense to her comments about gay marriage being legal.
Even some Christians found fault with Fantasia’s post, saying her wording implies that same-sex marriage should be judged more harshly than adultery.
