Carlos Santana faced criticism on Thursday when a video of the musician making anti-transgender comments during a concert in New Jersey in July resurfaced on social media.

“When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are,” the guitarist is seen saying in the clip.

He continued, “Later on when you grow up, and you see things and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good but you know it ain’t right, because a woman is a woman and a man is a man — that’s it.”

    Yeah I don’t get why he’d say this if he didn’t believe it. People are already marginalized for that position. Maybe he thought he’d get clout and support like some recent country singers but according to Wikipedia he does Rock, which has a fair bit of leftist fans if I’m not mistaken.

      Maybe he’s just a dumb old musician surrounded by people who let him believe his opinions are hot shit that has no idea how the real world outside of his utopia operates.
