From the newest AV club interview, on the possibility of why his cousin is gay:

"And I said, “Your situation could be this.” I don’t want to say he was born like that, because he didn’t show these traits as a baby, but now he’s growing up and growing into it. I said, “Your father’s not around. And your father wasn’t around when your mother was ( Read more... )

Eh, don't throw em out quite yet. Methinks he's still pondering all this stuff, however damn stupid theories they might be. On the other hand, the five percenters were linked to anti-semtism. Ah hell, i dunno anymore.

Pardon my non sequiter five percenters statement above: I meant to imply that it's possible this is coming from a bigoted place.

I can get down with this. Especially since he has some of the mechanism right - the kid was likely affected in utero, just not the way he thinks.

Frankly, any time we see the rap/hip-hop community react with anything other than outright hatred and bigotry towards GLBTQ, I think it's worth being pleased about. That doesn't mean, by any means, stopping to educate, but that particular bastion of music and culture has been very resistant, until the last couple of years, to any acceptance at all.

I'm not old enough to have been a proper observer of anybody's behavior from their infancy until they became aware of their sexuality, so I'm wondering if anyone has ever met a baby that acted gay or straight. Also, if he was getting his mother's man-wanting vibes in the womb, why wouldn't he have acted gay as a baby if babies can act gay? Also, by that logic, only queer women have queer baby girls, right? And it's not like all gay people are missing out on attention from one gender or the other.

Is it too much to ask for that if someone is going to shoot their mouth off like that, they at least use a bit of logic?
