Comedian Ali Siddiq recently addressed the backlash to a controversial joke made during an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast in 2022. The joke suggested that same-sex couples should forfeit their right to have children, which sparked significant backlash and misunderstandings due to its delivery and context. Siddiq explained that the joke was meant to highlight how certain statements can be taken out of context—an ironic comparison to Joe Rogan's own controversy regarding the use of racial slurs.
Despite the uproar, Siddiq clarified that his comments were meant humorously and were not intended to offend the LGBTQ+ community, pointing out his personal connections to gay individuals and his humorous intention behind the joke. Nevertheless, Siddiq received gay death threats, yet he maintained his stance as a comedian who sometimes expresses controversial opinions without malicious intent.
