Well in my opinion I think most of the more financially "high status" rappers such as Jay-z and 50 are making statements like these, opposing their previous opinions years ago has a lot to do with their ability to have more worldly experiences than before. In black culture and especially black "ghetto" culture (which I can say, not meaning to be offensive because I too like JayZ was raised in Bedstuy) Gay culture isn't really accepted and gay relationships aren't really represented. I'm sure since making large amounts of money being involved with all types of people all over the world, gaining once in a life time experiences, and frankly working in a industry which happens to have many lgbt individuals behind the scenes. Their eyes have been opened to the fact that PEOPLE are PEOPLE. We all have relationships that are loving, challenging, marriage worthy and otherwise, etc. I personally think others who have a problem with this are really just ignorant to gay culture and never took the time to genuinely KNOW a lgbt identified person. If they did, they would realize the opposition's argument especially from a religious stand point is fairly ignorant and uneducated. Gay people are just like straight people lol. & Other abominations in the bible include unclean things, lying, cheating, a proud heart, Idolatry, wearing clothes of the opposite sex for women this would mean pants, re-marriage of former companions, OPPRESSION of others, and injustice. The list goes on and on and on and on. So if we must judge by the Bible lets be consistent and be honest that NO one can be perfect and everyone is equal by the bible's standards. There are more important things in the world to STOP than stopping human beings right to love each other the way they want to.
