Being uncomfortable around LGBT I can understand. It's dumb, you're dumb, you're stupid, but I somewhat understand. You've been brainwashed for decades and need a minute to adjust... I guess?

But scared?

And of all beings, snoop Dogg? Wasn't he pretending to be a bad ass gangsta rapper?

Afraid?

Afraid of two people holding hands?

Afraid of seeing a woman who might have some manly facial features?

Afraid of generally just really nice people living their lives?

Afraid of two (or holy hells, maybe... Even three!??) people that just love each other and live together in the same home and maybe like to do things together in the privacy of their own home that you maybe would not do?

AFRAID OF WHAT, YOU SHIZZLE FUCK?

He isn't afraid of gay people.

He is afraid of having to have the conversation with his grandkid about gay people having a baby due to the content of a kid's movie.

Sort of like how a grandparent would be uncomfortable discussing procreation with their grandkid. Shit, parents are uncomfortable discussing that with their own kids and that is a far easier and more straightforward thing than discussing sperm donors.

He is scared that a kid's movie will inspire questions that he is uncomfortable answering as a grandparent.

I don't think kids can even procounce or comprehend the words 'artificial insemination'.

Here's a phrase that every child can understand, "science made it possible".
