Michael Porter Jr. has said he thinks having a gay man for a son would “hurt” and “be tough” for him.
The NBA player, traded to the Brooklyn Nets this offseason, was talking with social media star plaqueboymax when he was asked if he’d rather have a gay son or a “THOT” daughter. “THOT” daughter is a derogatory term directed at women with multiple sexual partners.
Porter doesn’t want anything to do with either of them.
“Both of them would hurt a n***ga heart,” Porter said, flat-out rejecting the idea of a gay son.

There is in the video some utter nonsense from an idiot talking about having a gay son wearing a dress at a family reunion. Very few gay men would ever wear a dress to a family reunion.
Porter dismissed his backward prejudice as being “from Missouri.” He played high school basketball for Father Tolton Regional Catholic High School in Columbia, Missouri, before transferring for his senior high school season to a school in Seattle, where he was named the National High School Player of the Year in 2017.
The NBA champion previously talked about how many other NBA players have gay sex.
“This happens in the NBA,” Porter previously said. “I hear wild stories about some of these dudes. And other celebrities. Their fetishes get so crazy… they might be a straight man but they’ve done so much stuff with pretty girls, and they have so much access to pretty girls, that now they’re over here messing with [trans women], or now they’re over here messing with dudes.”
Porter’s comments on having a gay son reveal a continued disconnect between NBA league and team front offices that lead the way for LGBTQ inclusion in men’s pro sports, and NBA players that clearly do not.
