Snoop Dogg says he's scared to take his grandkids to the cinema after being ambushed with questions about a lesbian couple in a kids movie ... but Ts Madison says Snoop is just being homophobic.
00:04Well, I have questions, and I wrote a few of them down.
00:08Snoop Dogg has historically been an advocate against censoring, and his fame is based off expression.
00:15So my question is, Snoop, you have music videos with women dancing and kissing other women, dancing naked.
00:24So why is displaying lesbian behavior in your music videos appropriate, and you are afraid to answer the questions from your grandchildren?
00:37So wait a minute, there's an answer to that, which is that the videos that he does for his music videos for adults, they're not like they're for kids.
00:47I think he would say that those music videos aren't for kids.
00:50I know that that would be the setting, and that would be the answer, but as a person who understands how kids work, kids see everything.
01:01Kids see everything. They see music videos. They hear lyrics. They hear these things.
01:06But T.S., that's where parenting comes in, right? I mean, you're right. Kids, if you just let them, they can see everything.
01:12And I'm glad you said that's where parenting comes in, because as a parent, you should also explain to your children that other things exist in the world outside of what you have deemed normal in your own home.
01:26Let me ask you something, because I'm gay, and I get the, you know, the points you're making, but at the same time, you know, maybe at a certain age you do bring things up, but at ages that are earlier than that, kids that are younger, a parent can say, I'm not ready to talk to them about it yet.
01:46I mean, that doesn't make them homophobic if they say, I don't want to talk to them about all this until a certain age.
01:55It's rooted in a bit of homophobia.
01:57Is it? Is it, though?
01:58A little bit. It is rooted, because...
02:00It can be. It certainly can be.
02:02It's rooted in it.
02:03But I don't know if it is in Snoop's case, but...
02:04But you also, you're never afraid to talk to your kids about having a little boyfriend or a little girlfriend at a certain age.
02:11I know that, you know, we've been conditioned to be able to, like, understand heteronormative activity.
02:20We've been conditioned to that, because that's all we see, because we've always, as queer people, been pushed to the side and swept under.
02:29So it is time for us to have these uncomfortable conversations, maybe not at four.
02:35Maybe Papa will explain that to you in a year or so.
02:40Just watch the movie.
02:41I gotta say, I've been around a long time, and for a long time, I have not felt pushed to the side and pushed away.
02:49And I hear people talking about that, but that's not society today, and it's not society even...
02:55Oh, I don't think that...
02:57Well, Harvey, I love you, but you're a white man, and you also are a white gay man.
03:04Trust me, I was around when bars were raided, when people were fired from their jobs during the AIDS epidemic.
03:12Well, I think it's not better.
03:13So I know what discrimination is more than just about anybody.
03:19Yeah, but it's still a different...
03:20It comes from a different lens when you're talking about, like, more modular...
03:24Like, and I don't want to lean heavy into it, you know, because it's not your fault that you're white, but you're a white man.
03:32You know what I'm saying?
03:33We're talking about, especially in this time right now, like, trans people are extremely under attack.
03:39That's true.
03:40Queer people are under attack, and, like, they made us public enemy number one, you know, and we're just existing.
03:46We're not even a large percent of the population, and they're making it seem like that our existence is forcing everybody else out.
03:54I get tired of people of color, and it's particularly black men that are voicing these things and are a part of the problem.
04:06And I think that what tends to happen is that we all forget, you know, what hand that we play in, you know, the hand we play in stuff.
