Tokyo Vanity is the latest reality star whose homophobia has been put on full display after she made some questionable comments about “hidden messages” in today’s children programming, claiming that they are “persuading children to be gay.” The fan-favorite Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star recently lost her “cool card” after she took to her Instagram Story to spew some hateful and ignorant rhetoric about the LGBT community.
In a random rant, she discussed how, in her opinion, today’s cartoons have a lot of “gay s–t” that persuades children to “become” gay, themselves. How, Sway? HOW?
In an attempt to mask her homophobia, she went on to share that she believes one is born gay, before going on to further contradict herself by claiming cartoons influence children to “subscribe” to the community.
“With children now, all their cartoons got this gay s–t and girl on girl, and the guy on guy, and this and that,” she said while her friend, in the background, attempted to provide examples. “It’s too persuasive now almost as if they’re trying to persuade children and brainwash children, like to be that. Like, gay is a s-xuality. Like, it’s something that’s just in you. I believe you were born that way, you know what I’m saying? But TV really is brainwashing [children].”

“it persuades children to be gay” but all the gay people who grew up surrounded on all sides by heterosexuals and homophobia on TV and in real life didn’t end up becoming straight from years of that so… how? pic.twitter.com/myyRyMP0VL

If she doesn’t see anything wrong with gay or trans people, what point is she making? pic.twitter.com/uP1yP7RDyE

While she attempted to do da-mage control by later claiming she has “no problem” with the LGBT community, several of her former fans took to Twitter to articulate their offense and out-rage.

Tokyo Vanity could have literally just sat there and eat her food ?

Some black people like #TokyoVanity would much rather have toxic black men being stereotypical violent, angry, criminal record having, DUMMIES, than to be progressive and accept LGBT black men. Ironically, a LOT of black women and men feel the EXACT same way #Tragic
