Carlos Santana makes anti-trans remarks at his Atlantic City concert:
“When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are. Later on, when you grow up, you see things, and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good, but you know it ain’t right. Because a woman is a woman and a man is a man. That’s it. Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business. I’m okay with that.”
Another person who was at the show shared their reaction on Reddit: “I went to see Santana tonight in Atlantic City with my parents, my partner, and her mom. Super stoked. One song in though, Carlos Santana stopped and spent a solid 15 minutes spouting the most insane anti-trans bs I’ve maybe ever heard? … Thought music (especially with this history) was supposed to bring us together.”
A different Reddit user who was there, commented, “It was very uncomfortable, especially the guy shouting Amen throughout. It was weird that he went on about how we are all special and unique after.”
Santana also gave a shout-out to his “brother” Dave Chappelle, who has stood by his previous comments in 2021 that he is “Team TERF” (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), who does not support trans women.
He added that he’s fine with people embracing their transgender identity — as long as they keep it quiet. “Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business. I’m OK with that.”
Several concertgoers confirmed Santana’s comments to Consequence, with one person saying that the musicians remarks were “very disturbing and seemed to come out of nowhere.”
