Stevie Wonder Misspoke on Gays, Quickly Apologizes


The other day Stevie Wonder said:
"I think honestly, some people who think they're gay, they're confused. People can misconstrue closeness for love. People can feel connected, they bond. I'm not saying all [gay people are confused]. Some people have a desire to be with the same sex. But that's them."
That didn't sit well with many folks so Stevie issued an apologized:
"I’m sorry that my words about anyone feeling confused about their love were misunderstood," Wonder said. "No one has been a greater advocate for the power of love in this world than I; both in my life and in my music. Clearly, love is love, between a man and a woman, a woman and a man, a woman and a woman and a man and a man. What I’m not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period."
That was quick, Stevie... Must appreciated.

Much appreciated, but how does he really feel? What did he say the first statement?
