In one bit, Hart said that he saw another boy “grinding” on his son, and in response, he “panicked and knocked them both down.” While he started the joke by saying he was not homophobic, many have since claimed the bit was a classic example of homophobia. In the special, Hart continued one of his previous jokes about his desire to prevent his son from becoming gay. Hart’s jokes were not simply limited to a few comments on Twitter - some of his early stand-up material contained homophobic jokes, including his breakout 2010 comedy special Seriously Funny.

They also included Hart calling a person’s profile picture “a gay bill board for AIDS.” The jokes didn’t go unnoticed at the time, but would become a much bigger problem for the star in the years to come as his public profile, and box-office appeal, increased exponentially.

Some were aimed around his thoughts about how he would react to potentially having a gay son, in which the comedian said he would break a dollhouse over his head if he saw him playing with it. The tweets that kicked off this national conversation are from nearly a decade ago, when Hart made a number of jokes over the course of two years on his Twitter page about LGBTQ people.
