The family man Terry Crews has faced claims that he is homophobic after asserting that a child has the right to be raised by its mother and father.
I have another very controversial statement to make, and I will since I’m “canceled” anyway.
As a human being there are things you can only get from your mother.

Full story below…
He shared…
I apologize to anyone who was hurt by my “severely malnourished” tweet. It was in response to someone who said kids wouldn’t “starve”.
It was poorly worded so I deleted it.

So all the Black kids growing up without dads or paternal love are just fine?
So we just let all these dads off the hook?
Just because women can do it all alone— and they have done an amazing job— does that mean they should?

His remarks on the importance of familial structure inspired the responses below…
Still cant believe that @terrycrews saying its important for young black to boys to have father figures somehow turned into people thinking he said that if you didnt have a father you’re childhood is invalid?? Or that abusive fathers are good?? Did I miss something here or??

Women got upset with Terry Crews because he expressed the importance of a father. Never mind he’s a father, himself. Women who hate men often see men as their rivals. We are not in the same arena. They have totally lost touch with reality and suffer from self-hatred.

And here’s the other thing @TerryCrews made abundantly clear, social media is not a hostage situation. If you don’t like someone or what they tweet, save yourself with unfollow, mute or block. You don’t have to endure them. They also don’t have to endure you. This isn’t hard.

Watching Terry Crews get “cancelled” by people who worshipped him just 24 hrs. ago reminds me of how in Orwell’s ‘1984’, Party members had to be able to hold two violently opposing opinions in their minds and be ready to switch from one to the other at a moment’s notice.

My brother suffered a great deal not having a Father even though my Mother was dedicated and did her best. I can see the consequences of a boy not having a male role model that shows him love.

Look, I have no idea what Terry Crews said but at the very least, if I have a son his father will be teaching him to pee because if it’s left up to me, he’ll be sitting for everything.

i kinda get the idea of what @terrycrews is trying to say, that children need strong male and female presences in their life, but he really just needs to reevaluate some of his word choices because they really do invalidate lgbt+ couples and single parents

Great parents are great parents, point blank period! ?? If your mother is Mommie Dearest and your father has a temper like Joe Jackson without wanting the best for his kids then you have a problem! ? Two dads or two moms, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! Love is what’s important! ❤️ But if you have two dads like the creep from The Shining or two moms like the bish from Misery, then you have a serious problem chile ? Nobody wants Precious’ mother or Ike Turner for parents! ?
He is speaking BIG FACTS!
Exactly!! People who are single parents I’m sure would prefer to have the other parent in the house.
Tired of fägs being offended at every little thing. No wonder god hates y’all.
But not as much as he hates u.
I am a gay black male who was raised in a middle class household by both parents. I have ALWAYS felt that mothers should NOT be recognized on “father’s day” — as they are not equipped to instill in a child the male energy, direction, guidance or level of esteem that a non toxic, strong minded male figure can do for his kids. and I also agree that a man or father cannot effectively deliver to his children the same types of nurturing, guidance, support & other character strengths that derive from their unique relationships with a mother or mother figure. Everything Terry Crews said was one hundred percent TRUE!
How to Get Away with Murder is one of several top rated shows that promotes same-s– relationships and even they implied in a storyline just the other week what Terry is saying. Children can grow up well without a mother in the home, but there is absolutely more to benefit from when a good mother is there to provide it. If you don’t want to accept that as truth, that’s fine, but don’t turn around and give your own opinion as truth and label the other person as being wrong for doing the exact same as you. Heterophobia is as real as homophobia.
Yes.
So there is no Problem with lesbians having a kid? ?
He is speaking facts and most ppl are triggered bc it applies to them. Mothers CANNOT provide everything a Father can and Fathers CANNOT provide everything a mother can. Gay or straight what he said was spot on.
You better speak the truth! Amen
Wtf? He’s right! Same s** couples can successfully raise a child, even a single parent can successfully raise a child, BUT positive maternal AND paternal influences are the best situation for the child. You can be the most loving and supportive gay man that you want to be, but maternal instincts still isn’t something you can buy or learn. Twitter needs to stop this foolishness. This wasn’t even homophobic adjacent. ?
There’s also kids growing up without moms but yea
