Actor and comedian Kevin Hart during a recent appearance on Ziwe's interview webseries on November 24, answered the viral "gay son or thot daughter" question.

The viral "gay son or thot daughter" question is a "Would You Rather" question. The question asks if they would rather have a gay son or a daughter who has many casual sexual encounters or relationships.

Ziwe around the 26-minute mark of the video asked Hart about his favorite letter in 'LGTBQIA' to which Hart responded and said, "the definition of it." Ziwe then asked him "what is the definition" to which Hart replied,

"The fact that you would want me to answer that says a lot about you."

When Ziwe responded asking, "I'm the problem?" Hart added,

"Well, I'm not going to say you're the solution. Game on."

Ziwe then asked Hart's take on the "gay son or thot daughter" question, and Hart answered,

"I would rather have two healthy kids. Like, it doesn't matter to me. Two healthy children and the fact that you have to put them in those categories says a lot about who you are."

He continued,

"I'm just telling you, I think the real problem is in the thinker, not the answerer. The thinker. Maybe you should just ponder on that for a second."

What has Kevin Hart said about the LGBTQIA community?

In 2010, Kevin Hart during a comedy special Seriously Funny said that his "biggest fear" was his son "growing up and being gay." He added,

"Keep in mind, I'm not homophobic. I have nothing against gay people. Be happy. Do what you want to do. But me, as a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will."

Kevin Hart's son was 3 at the time. Hart has since spoken about his opinions in a 2015 Rolling Stone interview, where he mentioned that the joke was more about his "own insecurities" as a parent. He reiterated that he's not homophobic and that he

"wouldn't tell that joke today, because when I said it, the times weren't as sensitive as they are now."

While speaking to Parade in 2017, he opened up about his 2010 joke once again, and the backlash he received.

"As for the backlash. I get it. At the end of the day, people are people, attacking is attacking."

He also added that "there's nothing wrong" with being gay.
