In the\u200d video, he passionately \u200ddefends \u200dhis stance\u200c and clarifies \u2063his intentions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;All right, listen, I normally don\u2019t give too much of a damn about what y\u2019all think about\u2063 what I \u2063do, what y\u2019all have to say about\u2064 what I say, whatever,&#8221; he began. &#8220;I\u200c normally don\u2019t care \u200dbecause like I said, opinions ain\u2019t\u200b special. Everybody got one.\u2062 However,\u2062 this is something I feel very strongly on.

As \u200ca 43-year-old heterosexual man raising five\u200c boys and two girls, he believes it&#8217;s important to express his perspective. While he acknowledges that his \u200copinion may have \u200coffended some, he\u2062 apologizes for any\u2063 unintended offense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u200c ain\u2019t asked nobody to follow me, I\u200c ain\u2019t asked nobody to agree \u2062with me,&#8221; he continued. \u2063&#8221;I was asked a question and I answered the damn question, okay? I have no beef with the LBGTQIA+ community \u2063whatsoever. I \u200bgot\u2064 no beef \u2064with y\u2019all, do\u200b whatever the hell it is you want to do. Do what you\u200c want to do with your kids. However, somebody asked\u2063 my \u200dopinion on this matter,\u200d and this is how I feel, I will never be okay with allowing\u200b a child to make a decision that detrimental to\u200d their life. I \u2064will never be\u2062 okay with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ne-Yo acknowledges \u2063that he still has more to learn about the\u200c topic, but he firmly \u200cbelieves that no book or opinion will change his stance on allowing children to make such\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rachel-levine-ripped-after-arguing-hormones-help-children-avoid-wrong-puberty\/\" title=\"Rachel Levine faces criticism for suggesting that hormone treatments can prevent children from experiencing the \"wrong puberty.\"\">life-altering \u2064decisions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And that\u2019s\u200b how I feel. If I get canceled for this, then you know what, maybe this is a world where they don\u2019t need a Ne-Yo no more,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I ain\u2019t got no problem \u200bwith \u2062that. I\u2019m a\u200b hustler, all right, and I\u2019ll figure it out.
