Kevin Hart, via 'Seriously Funny' Kevin Hart, via 'Seriously Funny' Hart's 'Seriously Funny' special <br />also included a part where his <br />son gave off "homosexual tendencies," to which Hart replied, <br />"Stop, that's gay!" Hart told 'Rolling Stone' in 2015 that <br />the joke had to do with his own insecurities, <br />not his opinion of the LGBTQ community.
