He did state at the end of the special that he won't discuss the topic again until he's able to laugh with the LGBTQ community. Hopefully, that means he'll stop making content on the issue and even engage with the LGBTQ community. I think he has some very fair points within his content about cancel culture and race relations in the USA. I do think he also needs to admit he's been wrong on some stuff too and just back off.
His biggest point is about competing rights between minority groups and civil liberty rights. There's very valid points to make there, but you always have to be respectful of the groups who have their own suffering. Discrimination isn't a contest where the most discriminated group gets to attack the other groups.
