    I mean, I like that he very publicly walked back his homophobic remarks and tried to make amends. A lot of people look up to celebrities, so when they show people a good example, I am for it.

    Especially since he worked with a queer organization to show that homosexuals are just regular people for an audience of children, this feels more than just an empty apology.

      And the playing for a fascist dictator dancing like a bitch on his red stage? What about that? Because that shit ain’t going away

        Sure, but the original issue was a comment and a personal choice in choosing media. Making an official retraction and appearing to try to educate people is an appropriate response to this.

        If this was penance for a larger transgression, like funding an anti-LGBTQ cause, yeah this wouldn’t be enough.

        Chances are, we will never know his intentions. If you ask me, I really don’t care about Snoop Dogg. However, I know a lot of people look up to celebrities like Snoop Dogg and would take his example to heart. In a sea of poor examples of behavior, I really like this.

      Didn’t you know that people can’t change and the worst thing they’ve done represents them no matter what they do
