starts doing this whole thing where giving gays and lesbians the power as a group that change these politicians minds because politicians are politicians. And I am of the mindset I don't disparage anyone their devotion or whatever they want to do with their lives and especially with their hearts. Because the bottom line to life is you have to stand before God. You have to stand before the Lord Christ. You have to explain your existence and your choices. I don't have to do that for you. Hollywood has become a tool of the gay movement because a lot of people who run things are gay. Not that that's good or bad. But in terms of family viewing your seeing more, you know a show is not a show unless some man is putting his tongue down another man's face and some woman is doing the the same thing and their making it like it's the norm and it's not.

They didn't nominate me. And when the picture came out Gene Shalit on NBC on the “Today Show” said there's another kid in this movie who should have been nominated for an Oscar.

And it is that the academy is filled with old white people in their 80's and 90's. Who have no concept of what “Straight Out of Compton” or what black people go through in the environment that they are in. So there is a big gap in that. But it's always been an agenda and it was calculated before but I don't know if it is now. But it's a wrong that now everybody is now trying to correct.
