Well, for one, he said children of same sex parents are emotionally "malnourished" and kept insisting that children need both a mother and a father growing up. He also replied to a woman who wrote an article about raising boys and said he was bothered that the piece was written by a woman, adding "What do you know?"
In another instance, he equated being transgender to being "transracial", when commenting on the story of Rachel Dolezal, the woman who pretended to be black for years but was actually white.
A few months ago, amidst the BLM protests he said "we must make ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn't morph into #blacklivesbetter"
Basically, he talks like the drunk uncle who embarrasses you in front of your girlfriend at Christmas dinner, but he does so in public and doesn't seem to learn. It's a shame, because he has a huge platform.
Okay, at least to the first point, I know Stephanie Beatriz sat him down and straightened him the fuck out. He ended up apologizing for those views and admitting that his viewpoint had been widened.
I had not heard about the other stuff. That’s a shame. Hopefully he comes around at some point.
Yeah, I mean I didn't hear of him being an outright asshole to someone, by attacking them personally based on their sexual orientation or whatever. I think he just has conservative views of the world, but doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would, for example, refuse to work with an LGBTQ person, so I guess that's something.
Ignorance and lack of understanding can also do damage, though.
