“I Used To Be Homophobic”: Celebrities Who Changed Their Stance On Gay Rights
Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart had this to say regarding past ill-advised jokes he made about how he would handle things “if my son was gay”:
“The funny thing within that joke is, it’s me getting mad at my son because of my own insecurities—I panicked. It has nothing to do with him; it’s about me. That’s the difference between bringing a joke across that’s well thought out and saying something just to ruffle feathers.
It’s about my fear. I’m thinking about what I did as a dad—did I do something wrong—and if I did, what was it? Not that I’m not gonna love my son or think about him any differently.”
