How Would You Parent a Gay or Gender-Fluid Child?

From episode: Black business fail

So let me ask you, why are we on this subject? So you, you having a kid, right? Yes. You having a boy. Yes. Would you care? Don't care whatsoever. I know you're going to ask. Don't care. Don't matter. As long as it's good health, you got all 10 toes and all 10 fingers. Don't matter to me. As long as he is happy. So if he 12 years old. You just say, hey daddy, I'm like, son, cool. Do you, don't care. Pay your bills. Get out of my house sooner than later. So you, you will raise him like Dwayne Wade? I personally would not. I would probably go about it differently because I feel like the way Dwayne Wade is going about it is this. He is letting a young child be impressioned by the world. And he's just using that to miss my opinion. He is using that to then boost his, his social media status and all this. Oh, this is what I let my kid do. And I'm a part of the community and this, that, and the third and then people follow him and like, and it boosts. But for me personally, I will not allow my 12, 13, whatever year old child to me in order for you to make that situation where you need to first finish school, experience the world, travel a bit. And the decision you're talking about is what? The, the, the, the whole sex change? Yeah, that, cause to me, I'm not going to allow my child, young adult to then dictate what they are. Cause that's, to me, that's just programmed by the world. But if you experience the world first and you've done digital research and you've done, you know, seeing what the world has offered and what hasn't been seen and you make that decision when you're older as a grown adult, it's like, you know what? This is not for me. This is, at that point I can't, but as you live in this house, in this roof, oh, you are a male. You are a male. Wait, but you can't have a both ways. No, no, he is a male. He's a male and he's a male. If he's going to be gay, he's going to be gay, he's going to be gay. But as far as him changing his gender, if you gay, you gay, who cares? You're gay. So you don't care if he wear dresses around the house? No, no, that's why I draw the line. It's one thing for you to be gay. It's another for you to be what they call trans fluid. That's where I draw the line. Go ahead, go on a date with a guy. That's what it's called? I think that's what it's called. You could go on a date with a guy. Listen, you need me to drop you off to your date's house? I got you. You want me to pick you up on the date? I got you. But as far as you changing your gender goals, I'm not allowing that. That's, that's not, that's not happening. But he's doing female things. Who cares? If you accept that, you gotta accept that. You do not have to accept first. That's, that's, that's what the problem with these days of these parents. All right, but, cause I'm confused, nappy. You say you open. I'm open to the idea that he is gay. That is - Are you really? Yes, if he's gay and he's happy - So that he should be able to come to your house with a purse and lipstick on. That is something different. No, what? And that was gay. No, no, well you need to do your research, my friend. You know what? You need to go to a gay bar one day. No, I don't. And just go out there. No, no. Wait, wait, so you want him to bring a dude there and tie him down in front of you? That's gay. Not saying do all that. I'm just saying, be respectful. The same way I would want him to be in front of, if it was a female in front of me, be the same way if it was a dude. Just be respectful. Now, if you guys want to hang out, go on your little movie days and hang out, whatever. Just longer days in your house. Because that'd be the same thing if it was a female. You go hang out, yeah, I could do whatever, go - But you said you accepted. If that's your son - Yeah, yes, but - That's not really accepting. You know, while not accepting is the change. If he wants to change his gender, that's not what I'm okay with. But as far as - He is changing his gender if he - No, he's not changing - He's doing female things. It's not, that's his sexual preference. His sexual preference has nothing to do with your
