Responding to a follower asking if he would rather have a “gay son or a thot daughter,” the fighter said: “If I had a gay son I would think I failed as a man to create such weakness…..
If I had a whore for a daughter I’d think she just wanted to be like her dad lol!!” He followed the tweet up with another that said he supports the “choices” made by gay men and added that they “all just get to hang with buddies all day and have sex”. “LISTEN gay men are great, i support them and their choices,” Strickland wrote.
