And let me tell you how I grew up. The way my mom raised me, and she's probably in the chat, and I'm looking at embarrassing to say this too, because I was raised in church, and even God wouldn't even approve of this, right? My mom raised me to hate gay people, bro. Like, genuinely hate them, bro. Like, oh, this is wrong. Like, you should never do it. And growing up, I really was on some shit. Like, I would look at these people so weird, and I'm like, yo, when I got to that point of opening my own consciousness, it got to the point where I was like, why do I hate this person that doesn't even know me? Why do I hate this person because of what they're into? You know what I'm saying? And nobody says, damn, El Mom, it's a traditional Caribbean thing. Catholic, that's what'll be happening. The Catholic mixed with the Caribbean, that's what happens, bro. You know what I'm saying? Just because what one other person does, Doesn't mean it gets put onto me and that's why I said know yourself.
