According to Business Insider, "Actor and comedian Kevin Hart defended himself in a "Fresh Air" interview with Terry Gross, saying that anti-gay jokes he made 10 years ago were nothing more than jokes." Kevin Hart told the press, ""I think that's taking a joking and putting a context that you're determining it should be on it. It's not that deep-rooted, but because of the time of today, people look at it, and they dissect it. And then I say, but as a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I would. It's a joke. It's called a segue. The segue was to get into the joke about something that really happened at a party where my son was playing, and there was another boy playing with him. And I was like, hey, all right, that's enough of that."
