Jay-Z.... I Support Gay Marriage..

Jay-Z
I Support Gay Marriage

Breaking News
0515_jayz_obama_01
Jay-Z says he STRONGLY believes gay people deserve the right to get married ... claiming discriminating against a gay person is the same as discriminating against a black person.

Jay -- arguably the most powerful person in hip hop -- discussed the issue with CNN ... saying President Obama's decision to come out in support of gay marriage was "the right thing to do."

“I’ve always thought it as something that was still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love."

He continued, "That’s their business. It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination plain and simple.”

Not surprising since his wife is considered a gay icon.

So far, The Beastie Boys, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, & Jay-Z are THE only rap artists that are publicly for gay rights.

So what's the hold up with other rappers of yesterday & today?

Jay is full of shit. If the Prez hadn't said anything about gay marriage, I seriously doubt Jay-Z would be saying anything about it either. He's become a media whore just like his wife. Not surprised. bored2

I think he's actually sincere about this. I just hope some more people start voicing their opinions on this discrimination.

Everybody should just say they support it so that LGBT can suffer the misery of divorce as much as heterosexuals.

Good for Jay-Z and the others mentioned. It's too bad Mos Def and especially Busta Rhymes aren't as progressive on this issue.

I honestly think he's just saying it because of the President. If Obama said he didn't support it would he have challegend him on the subject?

Exactly! If he was sincere about it then he would had BEEN spoken out on his opinion about it.

Eminem also said he said he didn't have a problem with Gay Marriage a few years ago.

Marshall is a hypocrite. All the shit he talks and then the backtracking he does. Say what you mean.

It reminds me of the "I'm not racist my best friend is black" excuse. You know, Donald Trump "I've always been cool with the blacks", for heaven's sake, Snoop Dogg's on my show.

If Obama hadn’t said anything would anyone have asked Jay-Z about gay marriage?

When you have nothing relevant to talk about then talk about somebody else who said something relevant. It may just make you relevant in the process.

What does one have to do with the other? I'm sure she would not have refused to marry him because he was homophobic.

Why must their support be via a public statement?

Not having a problem with gay marriage is not the same as legalizing it by voting.

When did Jay-Z ever vote?

If her were asked, why not? I doubt he called CNN and asked them to talk to him about it.

I don't understand why Obama has to say something just because Biden did.

Because two members of the Executive Branch talk about it doesn't mean the President does too.

Whatever.

Jay Z doesn't give a shit niether does most of the country. Politics is either a bunch of rich people trying to richer or a bunch of religious fanatics trying to push their beliefs on others.

The majority of the country is too worried about things that actually matter like their mortgage, bills, their children's education, etc to give a shit about poltical ideals.

But whatever Jay Z, keep playing into the minds of politicians. They're the ones with the REAL power.

Yeah, I don't need a piece of paper to profess my love for another person.

As a black AND gay person I would love to not be discriminated against, but that's unlikely in my lifetime. Baby steps, I guess.

Because hip-hop/rap has a history of being one of the most homophobic musical genres. And I like to see for myself how many rappers are finally ready to grow up.

Would you like to see Ice Cube supporting civil rights for gays or not?!? wink
