Terry Crews Faces Homophobia Claims After Asserting That Children Need Both Parents

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.

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
