As a fan, I’m thrilled and inspired to see him standing in his truth as a member of the LGBTQ community. has gone from viral sensation to groundbreaking musician.
“I think where it’s a problem is if we define people around it.” “Find out if somebody wants to talk about it,” he added. We’re having trouble talking about things in this country.” “I think we have to talk about it,” Buttigieg said, “especially if we’re going to trip over something on the way… I think part of the good that that’s going to do in the world is the conversations it’s going to launch. The Breakfast Club hosts then asked Buttigieg if it’s still acceptable for them to ask Lil Nas X about his sexuality. It does affect the way I understand the world.” But also that I belong to a group that’s been impacted by hate. Just a marriage, right? And like everybody else who is married, that’s part of how I come at the world. Part of it is the fact that I’m in a marriage. It shapes me, I think it informs the way I come at the world. “I’m out to be the president of the United States of America. “I’m not out to be the president of gay America,” Buttigieg replied. Wow man last year i was sleeping on my sisters floor, had no money, struggling to get plays on my music, suffering from daily headaches, now i’m gay.Īfter Buttigieg praised Lil Nas X’s “courage” to come out, suggesting he would probably prefer to talk more about his music than being gay, Charlemagne asked the politician if he would rather people not care about his sexuality. It’s just to make sure we have a way of going through life that it’s not the only thing.” “In the same way that we can’t pretend that identities don’t exist, we can’t pretend that this isn’t a thing. “I think when somebody finds it necessary to wave their arms up and down and jump up and down telling you how much this isn’t a thing for them, it makes you wonder whether they’re being honest with themselves,” he continued. Kids are putting bullets through their heads over this.” “As much as we might want to believe that our marriages are gonna be treated the exact same, that we just move through society like everybody else and we’re just living our lives, no, this is actually a thing. “It’s almost like… I will say a lot of gay people hear that and hear something that might not be that different than what some folks hear when they hear somebody say ’I don’t see color.’” “I think it was the fact that he found it necessary to interrupt Lil Nas X and jump in and let everybody know that he doesn’t care,” Buttigieg said. “If I say I don’t care about who a man is sleeping with, why is that a problem?” “People think he was being dismissive of Lil Nas X,” Charlamagne told the gay 2020 hopeful. Hart’s interaction with Lil Nas X came up Friday morning when Buttigieg sat down with Charlamagne tha God on his syndicated radio show, The Breakfast Club. “I am evolving and want to continue to do so.” The entertainer initially failed to issue a public apology, telling people to “stop looking for reasons to be angry.” He later apologized again on his SiriusXM radio show but said it is “not his dream” to be an LGBTQ ally. “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past,” Hart eventually wrote on social media.

He repeatedly made anti-gay comments in a series of tweets between 20, threatening his son with violence if he caught him playing with dolls, and insulted various celebrities by calling them “gay” or “fag.”
Hart stepped down from hosting the 91st Academy Awards last December amid backlash surrounding his homophobic Twitter history. Gay Twitter™ was quick to criticize Hart’s clueless line of questioning, especially in light of the comic’s fraught relationship with the LGBTQ community. “If you’re really from the hood, you know!” Hart still tried to play dumb, baiting Lil Nas X with questions like, “Be like what? Hate what?” speaks the truth about his choice to come out while at the top.
“It’s like knowing, growing up, like, I’m growing up to hate this shit,” Lil Nas X said of his sexual orientation. Lil Nas X opened up about his decision to come out while “Old Town Road,” his single featuring country legend Billy Ray Cyrus, was becoming the longest-running No. 1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history. The comedian and the record-breaking country-rap crossover sensation recently had a conversation for HBO’s The Shop: Uninterrupted. Hart, who is currently recovering after a car accident, was also in the headlines this week for basically forcing Lil Nas X to explain homophobia. Even Pete Buttigieg thinks Kevin Hart doth protest too much.
