    Snoop said that his grandson asked him, “Papa Snoop, how did she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!”

    That doesn’t really sound all that damning. I don’t remember it being explained in the movie either.

      One thing I think, and I’m not saying that you think otherwise, is that movies are way better when they don’t explain everything. In real life, we don’t always get explanations, and there’s stuff going on all the time that we have no explanation for.

      So, the lack of explanation in a movie, as long as it’s not distracting, actually adds to the feeling of authenticity, in my opinion. Movies where everything is explained and nothing is hidden about the characters… it just makes everything feel flat and childish.

        Yeah, that’s true for sure. And Snoop could have certainly answered the question better; there’s nothing wrong with saying you don’t know. I just think it’s a stretch to paint him as homophobic over this. (If there’s a history of him being homophobic, I don’t know if, and I didn’t notice it in the article.)

          I agree with you. I don’t think this is him being homophobic, I think this is him being bad with kids.

          Don’t forget, he appeared in Bruno singing about how it’s ok to be gay.
