A famous singer named Ne-Yo did an interview on Saturday in which he condemned parents who allow their young children to make life-changing decisions like choosing their sex.

I’ve watched that portion of the interview, which is cued up for you below, and he made really good comments:

But shortly after Ne-Yo said this the LGBT mob came for him and put such a verbal hurting on him that he quickly turned around and capitulated.

Ne-Yo should have stood his ground because he was RIGHT. It is not okay for parents to let a 12-year-old to decide to “switch genders”. Children are confused about so much in this world and that clarity doesn’t come until years later. Parents who allow their children to make life-changing decisions like this, especially when it includes hormone therapies and mutilation of their bodies, are abusing their children and setting them up for great failure in this life.

Ne-Yo needs to fight for these children. Instead he’s now part of the problem.

UPDATE: I mistakenly wrote Ne-Yo is a rapper. I’ve have now corrected that.
