In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utah-education-board-member-under-investigation-after-social-media-posts-about-schools-brainwashing-children\/\" title=\"Utah Education Board Member probed for criticizing schools' influence on children.\">social \u2064media post<\/a>, he reiterated his\u200d stance, emphasizing that it is his personal\u2063 opinion\u2062 and that others are free to disagree.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c1st and foremost, I CONDEMN NO ONE,\u201d\u2064 he wrote on Instagram. \u200b\u201cWho am I to condemn anybody? Your life, your kids, your choice. I was asked a question and I\u200c answered it. My opinion is mine. I\u2019m not asking \u200canybody to agree with me nor am I telling you what you can and cannot do with your children. I stated my opinion on a matter and\u2064 that\u2019s that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ne-Yo further expressed his belief that opinions are not inherently \u200cspecial and \u2064that\u2063 everyone is entitled to their own. He highlighted \u2064the importance of agreeing to disagree without it turning into a conflict. Despite differing ideals, he emphasized his love for everyone.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversial Remarks and Outrage<\/h3>\n<p>Ne-Yo initially made these remarks during an appearance on VladTV with Gloria \u2062Velez, which sparked outrage among some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ron-desantis-team-trolls-the-left-with-merch-fauci-can-pound-sand\/\" title=\"Ron DeSantis Team Trolls the Left with Merch: 'Fauci Can Pound Sand'\">left-wing individuals<\/a>. When asked about transgenderism, \u2062he criticized parents for \u200dallowing young children to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rapper-ne-yo-doubles-down-on-trans-comments-after-backlash-my-feelings-on-the-matter-are-mine\/\" title=\"Rapper Ne-Yo stands firm on trans comments despite criticism: 'My feelings are my own.'\">make\u200b life-changing decisions<\/a> \u2062about their gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned the role of parents,\u200b stating, \u201cParents have almost forgotten what the role of a \u2064parent is. It\u2019s like, okay, if your little boy comes to you and says, \u2018Daddy, I want to \u2063be a girl.\u2019\u200b And you just let him rock with that? You just let \u2014 he\u2019s five.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ne-Yo further argued against \u2062the idea of young children making\u200c such significant choices, \u2062comparing it to allowing a child to eat \u2064candy all day. He \u2064questioned the logic of letting a child decide their sex when they are not yet capable of driving a car.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he suggested that parents engage in a conversation with their child,\u2064 asking them \u2064what being a girl \u200dmeans to them. Ne-Yo emphasized that he has\u200b no issue with the\u200b LGBTQ+ community but comes from a \u2062different era where there were only two\u2062 genders.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ne-Yo blasts parents \u2062who let\u2062 their \u2063children believe that \u2063they can pick whatever gender they \u2063want to be:\u200d \u201cI \u2062feel like the parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is.\u200b If your\u2063 little boy\u2063 comes up to you and says, \u2018Daddy I wanna \u200dbe a girl,\u2019 you just let him rock\u200c with\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JRdn7VGZDI\">pic.twitter.com\/JRdn7VGZDI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u2063Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray)\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stillgray\/status\/1688072715528523776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>to condemn anyone?
