Hart steps down as Oscars host over his past anti-gay tweets
Hart said the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences gave him an ultimatum: apologize or “we’re going to have to move on and find another host.”
“I chose to pass on the apology,” Hart said. “The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times.”
In 2011 he tweeted "Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ’stop that’s gay.”
And his most egregious sin:
In the 2010 special “Seriously Funny,” he said “one of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay.” “Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic, I have nothing against gay people, do what you want to do, but me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will,” Hart said.
My commentary:
And that's all I've got to say about that.
