#1 Comedian Kevin Hart is always in the mood to make others laugh, but there’s one subject you won’t find him cracking jokes about.

#2 Normally no subject is off limits to Hart, who uses his comedy to reflect the issues of the times in politics, society, racism, and they way he sees the world.

#3 However, he made a statement recently that has really riled up his fan base, and it's not funny...

#4 In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, he claims that one of his biggest fears is his son being gay.

He thinks people tend to make a big deal out of things that aren't big deals, but says he no longer uses the gay son joke in his routine because people are too sensitive. He says, "It has nothing to do with my son, it's about me. That's the difference between bringing a joke across that's well thought-out and saying something just to ruffle feathers."

#5 The comedian told the paper that...

"One of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay. That's a fear. Keep in mind, I'm not homophobic. . . . Be happy. Do what you want to do. But me, as a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.

He stopped short of saying just how he would prevent such a situation...

#6 However, in this age of political correctness, it is very easy to offend others. So his comment was instantly labeled homophobic.

On his 2010 stand-up comedy special, 'Seriously Funny' he made a joke about the situation, saying he feared his son would be gay. This slight joke is what recently got him labeled as homophobic after he repeated his story to Rolling Stone Magazine when asked about it.

#7 Understandably, many viewers and fans of his comedy are outraged over his homophobic "joke" and don't see any humor in his reaction to the situation.

He told Rolling Stone; "It's about my fear. I'm thinking about what I did as a dad, did I do something wrong, and if I did, what was it? Not that I'm not gonna love my son or think about him any differently. The funny thing within that joke is it's me getting mad at my son because of my own insecurities I panicked. I made it into a joke."

#8 Fans are cheering though, for his recent stance on racism, despite his homophobic fears.

"I won't acknowledge what I won't let beat me. Have I experienced racism? Of course. But will I make you feel superior by saying I've felt trumped at times? No. I'll beat you by succeeding. I want to show my generation that a man of color, despite the roadblocks, can still make it. There's moments when I took to social media and said things, but it's always been on the positive side. I gave a message to Baltimore: At the end of the day, we're only hurting ourselves by destroying what we have. We have to go back and live there. We're torching, firebombing, looting our stuff. We need that CVS! Be smarter than this!"

#9 It seems like the stand up comedian will have to be more careful when choosing his jokes from now on!
