You know, so her coming out at this age, that’s the time when you supposed to know what you want.”
Boosie says he still loves his daughter.
“Even though it’s not…it won’t be accepted as far as…’cause I don’t want to think anyone in my family to think it’s okay. But what she does, we’re not gonna…we’re gon’ love her to death. We gon’ love her to death, but at the same time, our family, it’s never been that way. It’s never been accepted, our preacher, grandfather, grandmother preacher.”
