Don Lemon, a well-known journalist, recently engaged in a heated discussion with conservative analyst Candace Owens on his show, The Don Lemon Show, which airs on YouTube. The two opinionated hosts clashed on a variety of topics, such as transgender individuals, LGBTQ+ rights, and Owens' opinions on the January 6th insurrection. Things took a turn when Lemon asked her about her thoughts on same-sex marriage, to which Owens unapologetically responded that she believes it is a sin. Lemon then followed up by asking if he himself was sinful for being in a same-sex marriage, to which Owens stood firm in her belief that he was indeed sinning. She even went as far as to say that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
The conversation then shifted to Lemon's own personal life, as he is openly married to his long-time partner, Tim Malone. Owens, who has been vocal about her opposition to the LGBTQ+ community, has stirred controversy in the past with her comments on gender-affirming healthcare. After a school shooting, she linked the increase in mass shootings to the use of medication in schools and the supposed promotion of "insanity" by pharmaceutical companies.
As the discussion continued, Lemon brought up a past clip from Owens' Dailywire show where she defended the use of a derogatory term towards gay people. He asked her if she thought it was acceptable to use that word towards someone's face, to which Owens replied that she believed people should be allowed to use any word they choose without fear of censorship. Lemon, who is openly gay himself, countered her argument by stating that language evolves over time and that when someone uses that word towards him, they are not calling him a "bundle of sticks."
The interview took a strange turn when Owens called Lemon an "absurd human being" and the two ended on tense terms. Owens even took to social media to express her thoughts on the interview, stating that she never expected Lemon to ask her such a question and that these are "remarkable times we're living in." Despite their differences, the conversation shed light on important issues surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and the role of language in our society.
