Natalie Grant took to Facebook to respond to the Grammy Awards controversy surrounding her announcement that she left the Grammy Awards 2014 early. Many assumed that Natalie Grant left the Grammy Awards following Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' performance of "Same Love," a song in support of gay rights, while Queen Latifah officiated the marriages of 33 gay and straight couples.

Christian Gospel singer Natalie Grant revealed that she left the Grammys early, and many believed her early exit was in protest of the pro-gay rights song and the support of gay marriage depicted at the Awards show.

Natalie Grant posted on her Facebook: "We left the Grammy's early. I've many thoughts about the show tonight, most of which are probably better left inside my head. But I'll say this: I've never been more honored to sing about Jesus and for Jesus. And I've never been more sure of the path I've chosen."

According to Christian Today, dozens of gay activists took to her social media page to attack her for her comment, while hundreds of others praised her for staying true to her faith despite the liberal message at the Grammy Awards 2014.

In response, Natalie Grant again took to Facebook again to confront the controversy surrounding her early exit of the awards show, and stated to her followers:

I've tried to read all of the comments on my previous post but I can't respond to them all. Most of you have always been so supportive and encouraging to me & I'm grateful. It does sadden me when people argue, judge and hurl insults at each other from both sides of the fence. I'm not going to engage in arguments, but just have a few things I'd like to say:

I NEVER said I left during any particular performance. I only said I left early.

I never pointed out any one particular performance, I only said I had many thoughts about the entire show, which were best left inside my head and that is where they will stay. So those who say I condemned one performance but then condoned others clearly did not read the post.

What I DID say is this: I am honored to be a part of the Christian music community. I've had many people throughout my career ask why I never tried to go in to mainstream music and last night was a beautiful reminder that I love singing about Jesus and FOR Jesus.

I've judged no one. I hate no one. And I believe that every person has been created in the image of God. I will never stand on a street corner and wave a sign, I won't use my platform to engage in political arguments that will only divide and not unite. I will continue to pray that my life will be my message. I do have my own personal convictions that I live by, and I will continue to work out my own salvation with fear and trembling before the Lord. (Philippians 2:12)

I was honored to be nominated for 2 Grammy awards last night. I'm so grateful that NARAS and The Grammys continue to recognize the contribution that gospel and Christian music make to the world. And I'm so thrilled for those who won in my categories. And I can say that with all sincerity.

My last thought:

"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus for it is the power of God who brings salvation to ALL who believe."

Romans 1:16

Grammy Awards producer Ken Ehrlich, whose daughter is gay, told The New York Times on Sunday that the marriage segment reflected his own personal beliefs, Christian Today reports.

"But, I would not want to make a broad statement that it represents the views of the academy or the CBS television network."
