AFL insisted Snoop Dogg was no longer problematic just hours before he made anti-LGBTQ+ remarks

Snoop is nothing but problematic. He consistently chases money and punches down, including against his own community. At this point he's a fossil from the days of DMX rapping about how he's not gay like it was masterful lyric work. I kinda miss when the only things we heard or cared about was that he liked weed.

Speaking on the It’s Giving podcast, he recalled watching the Toy Story spin-off Lightyear, which features a same-sex kiss, with his grandson, who asked him: “Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman.”

I haven't watched Lightyear, but unless there is something missing, I cannot see how the grandson went from two women kissing to them having a baby.

On the face of it, totally made up story.

The lesbian couple in the movie have a child together. After being affected by time dilation, Lightyear teams up with their grand daughter.

Also, it's literally a one word answer if you don't want to get into the details of possible surrogacy with the kid for some reason: "adoption."

I hate when people frame arguments like this. They need to give kids more credit. The only reason they'd feel weird about homosexuality is because they picked it up from you. It's not inherent, and if you explain shit to them, they will understand it and be perfectly fine with it.

Yeah absolutely. It's like when two people of the same sex kiss and you hear, I don't want to explain sex to m'y children. Ummm that is not sex you are feeling...

The AFL is still one of the only codes in the world that hasn't had a current player come out. During this and the last season, six players have been suspended for using homophobic slurs. Which is all wild because the AFLW has dozens of queer women playing in it currently and previously.

It's actually impressive sometimes how the AFL manages to make the NRL look almost like a bastion of woke. And that is not an easy thing to do.
