"Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda is defending his award-winning work after a Texas church staged an allegedly unauthorized version of the Broadway musical.

"Grateful to all of you who reached out about this illegal, unauthorized production. Now lawyers do their work," Miranda tweeted Wednesday.

Last weekend, The Door Christian Fellowship Ministries in McAllen, Texas, produced and livestreamed a rendition of “Hamilton” that appeared to conclude with a sermon by a church pastor comparing being gay to being addicted to alcohol or drugs.

The final sermon by an associate pastor, Victor Lopez, compared homosexuality to drug addiction, according to a full video of the performance.

“Maybe you struggle with alcohol, with drugs, homosexuality, maybe you struggle with other things in life, your finances, whatever, relationships,” the video shows Lopez say. “God can help you tonight.”
