Lil Nas X’s appearance on The Shop opens up a broader discussion about homophobia

Kevin Hart’s reaction to Lil Nas X’s explanation for making his sexuality public has prompted a conversation about gaslighting. People took note of Kevin Hart’s reaction to Lil Nas X’s comments, especially after he was recently involved in an Oscars controversy Kevin Hart dropped out of his scheduled hosting gig at the Oscars in 2018 “rather than issue a formal apology for a series of homophobic, years-old tweets.” I’ve watched the clip several times now and Kevin really comes off poorly here. “He’s gay; so what!” took away Lil Nas X’s ability to say it first for himself and an attempt TO ME to derail and downplay the convo. Like “We know! No need to discuss it. Move on.” It’s not cool.
