James Woods Denies He's Homophobic

James Woods is standing by his controversial comments that insinuated a young “gender creative” boy would grow up to murder his parents after the actor faced strong criticism from Neil Patrick Harris and others on social media.

The Casino star, 70, defended his remarks in a series of tweets on Wednesday, July 12. “Using one’s child as a social justice propaganda doll is tantamount to child abuse. This is not about homophobia. Nice try though,” he wrote. “For the record I have supported human rights of all stripes and persuasions, colors, creeds, choices and preferences my entire life. Period.”

He added that kids may bully others who are different. “Some children can be ruthlessly cruel to children who are simply different in any way,” he tweeted. "I humbly suggest making your child a target is unwise."
