Kevin Hart latest victim of “Hollywood Gay Mafia”
The Left is at it again, casting out their own. It has been reported that comedian Kevin Hart has stepped down from hosting the Oscars because of a series of old tweets that surface where he supposedly made homophobic comments and there was massive backlash. One of Hart’s tweets that surfaced said:
At first he refused to apologize for his comments. He was given an ultimatum: either apologized or stepped down from hosting the Oscars. He made an Instagram video where he said “I passed on the apology.”
“So I just got a call from the Academy and that call basically said ‘Kevin apologize for your tweets of old or we’re gonna have to move on to finally host’. Talk about the tweet from 2009-2010, I chose to pass, I passed on the apology. Reason why because I’ve addressed this several times. It’s not the first time this has come up. I’ve addressed, I’ve spoken on it, I’ve said where the rights and wrongs were. I’ve said who I am now versus who I was then. I’ve done it, I’ve done it. I’m not gonna continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I moved on and I’m in a completely different space in my life. The same energy that went into finding those old tweets could be the same energy put into finding the response to the questions that have been asked years, after years, after years. We feed in to internet trolls and we were award them. I’m not gonna do it man. I’m gonna be me, I’m gonna stand my ground. Regardless Academy, I’m thankful and appreciative of the opportunity. If it goes away no harm, no foul.” - Hart
And this enraged people so much they are saying that ‘he must go as an Oscar host’, they’re saying why we shouldn’t feel sorry for him and people on Twitter are abuzz. The backlash intensified even though Hart had addressed the old tweets he ended up deleting his tweets and apologizing saying “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.”
And he withdrew from hosting the Oscars because he did not want to be a distraction. Hart has spoken before about how making homophobic comments can ruin your career. Jim Goad wrote about it in Tacki mag and he makes a really good point when he says that “There is a gay mafia in Hollywood and it can ruin your career.”
He also notes that “gay Trump’s black” in the progressive world. So it’s good to know where those levels are. Goad says “There is irrefutable proof that the gay mafia exists is the fact that if Kevin Hart had said that he wished his son would never grow up to be straight he’d still be hosting the Oscars"
and points to other examples like Bill Maher in 2014 when he said that “There is a gay mafia and if you cross them you do get whacked”.
That same year Adam Carolla said that “If you can’t work with gay people you’re going to have a difficult time in Hollywood there’s plenty of gay people and they are in positions above you you’re not going to get your movie directed they’ve just turned into a mafia and demanding everyone apologize for every joke and retract every statement.”
And even Fat Joe has claimed that “The gay mafia owns hip-hop”. We have been saying for a while now that political correctness is the death of comedy but it seems to be even more serious than that. It seems to be a career killer and no one is exempt.
Some comments:
So odd, the lgbt people I talk to have a good sense of humor, make fun of themselves all the time and are chill. I think the problem is political correctness obviously but also the outrage/virtue signaling culture and marxist elitism.
Never apologise to leftists
