| By flix02 - 07-26-2012, 01:28 PM - Boxden > The Hip-Hop Spot ![]() Music icon Elton John recently spoke on Jay-Z's open stance toward gay marriage and why he has a big hug waiting for him when they next meet up. Elton said he respects Young Hov for waving his finger at people who discriminate against the gay community. In an interview with MSNBC, Sir Elton John spoke on Jay-Z, who eloquently voiced his support for the legalization of gay marriage earlier this year. Elton expressed how important this was, especially coming from Jay-Z. "Jay-Z, who is probably the most respected African American artist, came out and said not only is it wrong to not have gay marriage, but any discrimination in life is wrong. It was an incredibly moving statement," Elton explained. "I take my hat off to him. I respect him so much for doing that. When I next see him, I'm going to give him the biggest hug." (Complex) In May, Jay publicly vouched his support toward gay marriage. Rapper Jay-Z on Monday threw his support behind President Barack Obama's stance on legalizing same-secks marriage. The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said not allowing gay marriage was "holding the country back," in an interview with CNN's Poppy Harlow. "What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. [It] is no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination plain and simple," Jay-Z, a longtime supporter of Obama, added. (My Fox DC) G-Unit's 50 Cent recently spoke on the same-secks marriage debate. "You know what? I think everybody should be happy," 50 said in an interview. "I think a fool is going to go against same-secks marriage at this point. The President...look how long it took him to say he's for same-secks marriage, you understand? Now, it's completely different -- It's obviously more socially accepted. In fact, if you ask women have they had female interactions and she responds, 'Yes,' it doesn't even feel not normal anymore. It's more common than not. ... I think I'm for it. If everyone else is for it, then hey, to each his own. I don't have a personal feeling towards it because I'm not involved in that lifestyle, but I want people to be happy. It just makes for everything to be better, everybody be comfortable and conveniently work together and do different things." (XXL Mag) Over the spring, "King of the South" T.I. gave his stance on the controversial topic. "Just to speak honestly and being frank, I don't care," the "Live Your Life" MC said about the non-stop debate on same-secks marriage when he appeared on Wednesday's "RapFix Live." "I think that if a matter doesn't affect your daily life, you shouldn't take a hard stand on it. If it's not something that directly affects you, if it doesn't affect you, what difference does it make to you what other people are doing with their lives?"

THAT IS NOT NATURAL, they can do whatever they want but do not try to act like buying!! rings like eminem got elton is Normal, Homosecksuality always been described as an alternative life style NOT PART OF THE NORM, don't try to blur the line on that. Oh Gay !! has nothing to do with Civil Right Movement, MLK didn't fight for !!ry !! he would be sick to his stomach if he saw Brotha Jamal married to Brotha Malik, he didn't say I have a dream where mans can marry each other and spread !!ry to future generations. HE DID NOT say any of that !!, why are you comparing being black & white to being gay? last time I checked gay is a life style NOT A RACE. You're brainwashed thinking Gay take over moment has anything to do with Civil Rights movement or is part of the norm, when again it has ALWAYS been described as ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE. Key word ALTERNATIVE aka IS NOT THE NORM. Last edited by The N; 07-27-2012 at 09:47 AM.. | ||
