Ellen DeGeneres, an outspoken lesbian who married longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi in 2008, has disinvited popular gospel singer Kim Burrell from her television show after Burrell preached a sermon about the sin of homosexuality. “For those asking, Kim Burrell will not be appearing on my show,” DeGeneres tweeted on Tuesday.
