I applaud 50 Cent for his statement. He may not be as popular as he used to be and the timing is questionable, but that does not mean his words do not carry weight among many Black boys in America.

Bullying is real and anything that a Black male celebrity can do to have some influence against its eradication in the Black population is noteworthy.

There are a few discrepancies in the statement (i.e. Bible interpretations); however, it is a step forward for a group of people [LGBTQ] who have had their share of disappointments and struggles.

I embrace his evolving attitudes and I only hope they grow stronger.
