Recently, the R&B singer Ne-Yo gave an interview where he criticized parents for letting their children determine what gender they are. He asked, “When did parents stop parenting? If you let a kid decide whether he wants to eat sugar all day, he’s going to eat sugar.”

There was some controversy on top of the controversy, because it looked like Ne-Yo put out an apology to the LGBT community…but then Ne-Yo put out a video clarifying his stance on the matter.

Points Discussed:

• The Men Let this Happen – @1:30
• Matriarchy in the Black Community – @2:41
• Affirming a Child’s Gender – @3:36
• Weak Men Make Terrible Leaders – @5:35
• Choosing God over the Government – @9:12
• The Beauty of Two Parents – @10:26
• Spankings and Corporal Punishment – @12:06
• Preparing Our Children for a Better World – @14:05

Here…I had some thoughts on the matter, pretty much calling out the elephant in the room. I think that sometimes, a lot of us don’t say anything because we feel like we don’t have a place to say anything. I don’t have children. So, what do I know? Right? Not to mention, the fact that so many companies are pushing the Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Ideology where it can be risky to speak the Truth.
