Kevin Hart gave his take on the viral 'gay son or thot daughter' debate.
The actor and comedian sat down with Ziwe for the Monday (November 24) episode of her interview webseries, where she occasionally asked Hart about his LGBTQ allyship.
Around the 26-minute mark of the video below, Ziwe asked Hart about his "favorite letter" in 'LGBTQIA,' to which the Jumanji star was stumped and answered, "the definition of it."
"And what is the definition?" Ziwe asked.
"The fact that you would want me to answer that says a lot about you," Hart replied, jokingly adding that Ziwe was "the problem."
"I'm the problem?" Ziwe asked.
"Well, I'm not going to say you're the solution. Game on," Hart said.
Next, Ziwe asked Hart to take on the "gay son or thot daughter" debate.
"I would rather have two healthy kids. Like, it doesn't matter to me," said the father of four. "Two healthy children and the fact that you have to put them in those categories says a lot about who you are."
"I'm just telling you I think the real problem is in the thinker, not the answerer. The thinker," Hart continued with a pensive facial expression. "Maybe you should maybe you should just ponder on that for a second," he added.
Throughout the interview, Ziwe questioned Hart on other topics about queerness, including if he'd be interested in playing a gay role and whether he'd issue an apology to the gay community over his past homophobic jokes.
"Well, you don't have to constantly do something if you're accountable and you are strong enough to stand in whatever the line of fire is to say things," Hart said. "So, whether it's been the family or uh friends or gay people in the past accountability is key. And I think to all of those people that were mentioned in that particular question, I have definitely been aware and accountable."
Among Hart's since-deleted tweets that resurfaced roughly five years ago was one where he joked about being repulsed if he had a gay son. On an episode of 60 Minutes last year, the comedian said that fellow comic Wanda Sykes reached out to him about his homophobic jokes potentially being hurtful to queer fans.
"Wanda Sykes said, 'There’s people that are being hurt today because of comments like the ones that you made then. And there’s people that were saying it’s okay to make those comments today based off of what you did then," Hart recalled.
