Carlos Santana faced criticism on Thursday when a video of the musician making anti-transgender comments during a concert in New Jersey in July resurfaced on social media.

“When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are,” the guitarist is seen saying in the clip.

He continued, “Later on when you grow up, and 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.”

    It’s weird how you can forget a famous person ever existed, but then you find out they are a shitty person and it makes you sad.

    Why do I care that Carlos Santana is a bigot? Abraxas used to be in my car’s tape deck rotation, and he was everywhere in the late 90s, but I haven’t listened to his music in probably over a decade.

    And yet, I find myself really disappointed in him.
