He shared on X, Formely Twitter, “I had to walk out this color purple movie ( n two other older couples walked out also.) Because i had my little girls with me n it seemed like a [rainbow] love storyâźď¸good acting but whoever wrote the script is pushing the narrative hard âźď¸as a parent i will not let my little girl watch this film.”
Boosie clarified that his objection was not against the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing that he has no issue with people of different backgrounds. Drawing on his family’s Southern Baptist upbringing, Boosie expressed his desire to instill similar beliefs and values in his own children.
WHY IF SOMEONE DOESNT AGREE WITH THE đNARRATIVE THATS BEING PUSHED WHY DO YALL SAY THAT THE PERSON WHO DOESNT ARGREE IS đ. THATS BULLYING âźď¸WE HAVE A RIGHT AS PARENTS TO SAY ITS NOT COOL FOR A 7 N 9 YEAR OLD TO WATCH THIS. WE HAVE RIGHTS AS PARENTS TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN ASâŚ

He continued, “Why if someone doesn’t agree with the [rainbow] narrative that’s being pushed why do y’all say that the person who doesn’t agree is [rainbow]. That’s bullying âźď¸we have a right as parents to say it’s not cool for a 7 n 9-year-old to watch this. We have rights as parents to protect our children as much as we can. I have no problem at all with [rainbow] people. My grandad was a preacher (southern baptist) n im just tryna raise my kids with the same beliefs n respect we was raised with its just this world will have u n a fight to do soâźď¸”
