Carlos Santa has once again changed his stance, revising his apology for his previous ‘anti-trans’ rant.
Guitarist Carlos Santana Alters Apology for Comments on Transgender People
Guitarist Carlos Santana has once again changed his tune, this time altering his apology on social media for his controversial comments about transgender individuals.
During his concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in July, Santana reportedly went on a 15-minute rant about transgenderism, stating, ”A woman is a woman, and a man is a man.” Videos capturing parts of his speech were shared on social media, prompting Santana to apologize for his “insensitive comments.”
Santana’s Poetic Apology
Instead of sticking to a traditional apology, Santana replaced his original statement with a thought-provoking poem: “the energy / of consciousness generates its own kind / hate begets hate / love begets love.” However, he later reposted the apology, this time limiting comments on the post. Shortly after, he made a third post affirming that “Everyone is significant, meaningful, and priceless.”
Initially, Santana’s comments seemed to stem from his faith. He expressed his belief that individuals know their true selves before birth, saying, “When God made you and me — before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are.”
He continued, “Later on, when you grow out of it, you see things, and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good, but you know it ain’t right. Because a woman is a woman and a man is a man. That’s it. Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business. I’m OK with that.”
Santana’s Facebook page has seen a slight decrease in likes, losing only 4,000 out of his current 7.8 million followers in the past month. However, engagement on posts discussing Santana has increased.
Ne-Yo Walks Back Apology, Stands Firm on Opinion
Another musician, Ne-Yo, has also retracted an apology he claimed was written by his publicist. The initial apology suggested that the pop and R&B star regretted his stance against gender transition procedures for children, but Ne-Yo clarified that this was not the case. He later expressed regret for any offense caused but maintained that he stood by his opinion.
