It’s a topic Hip-Hop routinely treats as taboo, yet a topic hot the lips of many American’s heading into November’s Presidential Elections.
Indeed, homosexuality -particularly same sex marriage- continues to be fiercely debated in the US, especially following Barack Obama‘s public backing of such groups last week.
Now, Hip-Hop heavyweight Jay-Z is weighing in on the matter, voicing his opinion in a new interview with CNN. Check out what he had to say after the jump…
Interesting!
Needless to say, this is sure to pour further fuel on the ever-raging debate. Whatever the case, Jay’s public support for same-sex unions is a “first” of sorts for Hip-Hop. For, well documented is the genre’s unfortunate history of homophobia; a practice hilariously ironic given the number of rapper’s that…you catch my drift.
In any case, what do you think…
Your thoughts?

Of course after Obama support Gay marriage the fake Carters family now support Gay marriage too, great and now people would think they are the first famous people who support this when was Jay-Z when Cher and Madonna became the center of attention for doing this.
I agree with Jay. People choose to love who the hell they want. I am not gay and I respect everyone’s love decision. Everyone was placed on this earth as their own and with a desire to be happy, with whoever they want. President Obama is right and Jay is right. Gay marriage does not affect america in no way. America needs to look at all the issues with causes division right before them. hypocrites
Discrimination is Discrimination. America is too full of double standards. Damn.
My beautiful Flag is the only good thing on that video and picture.
@ S****** jay has always had his opinion no matter what. He was asked about it and answered based on what he believed. We need to rethink why does the Maya and the president has a close relationship with jay? How does Obama know so much about the troubled black communities? because he can confide in jay’s opinions and resolutions. Jay has always been thoughtful. Get the f*** out of here.
@kimberly
LMAO, Jay-Z for president hahaha.
It’s a shame that Jay-Z has stood up for the LGBT community before Beyonce. Aren’t most of Beyonce stans gay men? They wonder why their queen stays flopping while those who stood up for LGBT people like Rihanna, Gaga, Minaj, Mariah, Janet, Madonna, Cher, Whitney, Patti, Mary, Toni, Chaka, Britney, Christina and others stay winning. Remember. The gays are the ones the keep your longevity going in the entertainment game. Why you think Ciara, Ashanti and a few others having hard times making comebacks? They never openly supported the LGBT community…their potential fanbase.
@kimberly and @s****** blonde i think you two have a love jones for each other! Lol! 🙂
@suicideblonde
I know! But let´s just celebrate. The more people saying this the better
I see America is soon going to become as openminded as Spain 🙂 Just a little bit of shade there haha
I must say I applaud him all be it probably self serving for standing up and voicing a positive opinion on his stance on this matter, He has a lot of influence, anyone who has something against gays is just ignorant as they dont hurt anyone.
@johnvidal
Haha i know that, in what city of spain do you live?
@ass
Haha that was funny.
@ RIHANNA NAVY you are clearly out of your mind. Beyonce has a huge fanbase of gays. her stylist, her choreographer and losts of her friends are gay she has spoken about supporting gays a long time ago. B**** were you born yesterday. Are you sure you want to talk about flop. Cause I have cases for each of the names you mentioned. hahaha reading your comment makes no sense, you need to try harder. You just wanted to add the queen’s name in the comment section. did you dream of her today?
Go Jay Z go!!!
@ ASS THAT WAS FUNNY……. love for someone who is so closed minded. This would be too painful to tolerate.
Thank God for the Carters. The Power couple that is. Oh the music royalty. Did I forget the union every Industry w**** wants to imitate.
it is a good thing that he is saying this. So kudos to him on saying whats right.
@rihannacaptain navy
you make an interesting point. I have read be
y said she loves the gays, but i’m not sure if does any charity/fundraising for gay causes. And i only read she loved the gays in one article.
All the women you metioned are full force supports of their gay fans. Janet is in paris for the annual amfar fundrasier.
@john vidal
lol! Maybe we will catch up to you guys soon! 😉
@s****** blonde

I guess if you need to find something negative to say…
I dont understand…. no matter what ppl say or do, someone will find something negative. How about we just say “big ups” to Jay for showing support… and leave it alone
damn….
GOOD FOR HIM ITS TIME TO STOP HATEING OTHER PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE FOR WHO THEY LOVE AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO BLACK PEOPLE WE ARE STILL SO CLOSED MINDED IN WHAT WE THINK, IN THE MUSIC WE LISTEN TO (HIP-Hop and even R&B) TO THE THINGS WE VOTE FOR!!!! (IF WE EVEN VOTE THAT YEAR) ITS REALLY A F****** MESS THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE STILL SO MUCH MORE FORWARD THINKG THEN WE ARE AS A PEOLPE . SO LIKE I SAID GOOD FOR HIM LETS HOPE OTHER FOLLOW SUIT. LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your nickname BEY FAN, translated into English means: I hate everyone because Beyonce is the best, they just can’t accept it.
This s*** is crap. Where the hell was all these artists when gay men was dying of A***. Now women of color has the highest rate of H.I.V/A*** in the world. Jay & Obama try going to fundraisers.. No one can tell a person who they can fall in love with , but these two are doing this for the causes of their own. Obama relection.

this is the dumbest statement ever……
Beyonce clearly has gay friends. Because she chooses not thank the gays ever moment doesn’t mean she doesn’t support the gay community.
And when was the last time Janet, Toni, Patti, or Chaka had a platinum album???
And Beyonce shows as much support as Janet, Toni, Patti, and Chaka…. please GTFOH…
And based on your ignorant logic, MJ, The Bettles, Elvis, Celine, and Adele must REALLLY support the gays…. as their careers are among the greatest of all.
And when has Rihanna “STOOD UP” for the LGBT community…. because she tweets gay slang??? Kisses on girls??? I mean really what has she done? And has Whitney (may the queen rest in peace) stood up for the LGBT community?
I really wanna know. Im not trying to be funny
Jay-Z is right on this one. And about what he says about ur privacy in ur home and it does not matter who u love in ur own home, about ur privacy; check this : . . . . . . . . THE U.S. CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO PASS A LAW CALLED CISPA THAT WILL GIVE OFFICIALS THE ABILITY TO LOOK IN UR EMAILS AND READ ALL UR MAIL. . . . . .

Jay-Z is right about it not being about votes on this issue, ON THIS ISSUE. However, it is about votes in the 2012 Genereal elections, later this year. There are blacks who are saying they will not vote for Obama b/c of his support for gay marriage. If Obama loses this election and gawd forbid a republican wins, its goodbye democracy and hello Greece and austerity, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Period.!
those are the type of posts in which i don’t show up and voice my mind , BUT ….
it’s a shock tbh.
No matter how much pple try to glorify homosexuality, it’ll never be fully considered a good thing. Of course, God is the creator of everyone, gay or straight, but let’s always have it at the back of our minds that EVERY human being in this world has one sin or sins they are battling with. But that doesn’t make the homosexuality thing good. Neither is fornication or adultery good.
Even the BIBLE has categorically stated (in more than one part) that men and women stopped having natural s** but turned to unnatural and perverted sexual acts.
I am by no means saying that pple should be discriminated against on the grounds of their race or sexual orientation(or preference), but let us not pretend that it is “okay” to be gay. It is ONLY “okay” in terms of everyone having a choice as to how they live their life(lives), but we alll know that acts like homosexuality, lesbianism, et al are against God’s word. That is why he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
LOVE =/= S**

HEY BOO – YES, WHITNEY HAS STATED THAT SHE SUPPORTS THE GAY COMMUNITY. THEIR IS ONE INTERVIEW IN PARTICULAR ON YOUTUBE, IT WAS MADE AROUND 1994, WHERE THE REPORTER IGNORANTLY QUESTIONED HER ON THE AMOUNT OF GAYS & DRAG QUEENS WHO HAD BEEN ATTENDING HER RECORD-BREAKING BODYGUARD CONCERTS AND SHE SAID THAT ” SHE DIDNT GIVE A **** ABOUT WHO CAME TO HER CONCERTS, PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE AND I’VE ALWAYS LOVED MY GAY FANS”.
AND THEN AGAIN IN 1999 WHERE SHE PERFORMED AT A GAY RALLY IN EUROPE AND SHE’S SINGING “ITS NOT RIGHT, BUT ITS OKAY” WITH A BUNCH OF GAYS ON STAGE.

I hope so. I would love the whole world to be like that (but don´t think homophobia and some other phobias don´t exist in Spain, they do, but Europe in general is the most openminded place I think)
@s******
You are a crazy New York guy and I like it 🙂
I live in a rainy and wet city in north Spain, Santander, small (200,000 inhabitants) but beautiful. The Boss was here 5 years ago and my Mariah made a video clip years ago in Bilbao´s Guggenheim museum (Sweetheart), 45 minutes from here. J. No was also here but only to attend his husband´s concert (Marc Anthony), u know she has not made a decent tour in her whole career. Nicole Kidman filmed “The Others” here in Cantabria too
Ok I don´t even know why I´m talking about that. I´ll shup up haha
@johnvidal(rip whitney-truegreat)
I think i’m gonna be in Pamplona for San Fermin because of that i asked you, i know about that Mariah video, I am well informed, i don’t know nothing about that crazy New York guy you mention, i’m a saint haha LMAO.
“Got Obama On The Text” this is one of the lines in Jay song. Everytime you look around Obama has Jay up in his office at the White House even if it was three or four times. So this s*** is not from the heart.

I’m not surprised. The man would do anything to maintain his mainstream appeal and the gay community is a big part of mainstream media, so I would be shocked if he went against them. His statement is as predictable as it is contrived. 😎
@ONYX :
i will recognize you right away even if you changed your name to another langauge 😉
of course i know you are @onyx !! 😉
but yes , speaking of the music industry in particular , i do believe most of the ideas comes from gay people.
but as i said earlier , your sexuality doesn’t define you. so just because someone is gay doen’t mean he will be automatically smart , right ?!
and vice versa !!
but anyway , i’m not here to discuss LGBT , most of the ppl here now my opinions already.
anyway , missed ya 🙂 !!
@s******
Really? Pamplona is near too, but not in the rainy area of Spain despite being near, you can expect HOT weather in July. And I warn you, that is a crazy crazy place in San Fermín 🙂
I like Jay Z and Obama but I disagree with them on this. Yes you can love whoever you want to it’s your life what you do in your house is your business but marriage is an institution and when you chose to be with someone of the same s** you know that you can’t neither get married nor having children that’s the deal you chose.
Marriage is an institution that can’t be change for the willing of few people who decided conciously to live their life differently. Love each other all you want no one is going to blame you for that but don’t touch to marriage.

Your point would be valid if you could choose to be gay, but you can´t, you just are. So invalid point
Some countries have gay marriage, and nothing has happened, and nothing has been ruined, normal marriages are doing fine. Get over it. It´s time. Nobody even remembers it after a while. I know it for a fact
no you choose to be gay I’m sorry that’s a decision that you make for your own life you ain’t born this way I’m sorry this is just the marketing stuff from Lady Gaga.

@johnvidal(rip whitney-truegreat)
Haha i don’t have to be rude because of your age since i’m not a kid myself, i will kill myself if i’m not rich at 30 haha.
Not cool. Jay just lost several points in my book. Far as being gay is concerned, people can do whatever the hell they wanna do…but that doesn’t mean that it’s a) right or b) that everyone else has to support them on it.

_________________________________________________________
Marriage changed from the old testament to the new testament….it differs from country to culture…. its procedure have changed… nothing about marriage is as it was in the biblical sense…
I dont care either way, but lets not forget when it was ok for a man to have several wives…now imagined if that had not changed….or when a woman married a man she was consider more of a property that a man owned.
As a gay man, I dont necessarily support or not support gay marriage. Hell marriage in general needs to be revamp.
And as strong as ppl are opposing gay marriage , they should also be opposing divorces. There should be laws not allowing people to get divorced unless the husband or wife is unfaithful, because well thats what it says in the bible…
@JOhnvdal :
i agree , BTW , don’t get me wrong ! i have like 1000+ friend in FB and they are from different demographic and there are gays in there but usually i don’t talk about “religion , s** , color” in there or anywhere else …. but i do have my personal opinion on the topic , but you are right , i should go in a trip to a beautiful place like spain !
i also believe that sexuality doesn’t define who you are ! and i leave it to god to judge at the end of the day ! my life is TOO busy to think about if anyone is gay , lesbian , etc … , all i want is peace and freedom for everyone ! but that good kind of freedom ! that’s all !
BTW , i’m 21 , age is just a number , ask @ONYX’s fav ! 😉
but yes , some ppl here are ….. S*** ! 😆
@poproyalty
Lmao… at @onyx´s fav haha
Well, I’m not voting republican…so Mitt won’t be getting my vote come November….but I do question whether or not I’m going to bother supporting Obama anymore after all this. I’m not thrilled with his endorsement of same s** marriage, but again I wouldn’t dare vote for Romney. So I don’t know. In 2008, I eagerly supported Obama…in 2012, eh. Maybe I’ll vote for him again, but I won’t be wearing any t-shirts or sporting any bumper stickers. And, truth be told, even though I don’t want Romney as a president…if Obama loses to him, I won’t be as crushed as I would have been prior to his statements about gay marriage.
Far as Jay-Z is concerned. Meh. That was SO un-hiphop of him. He’s turned into a liberal corporate suck-up.
@BEYFAN
When was it ok to have more than one wife?
And also f*** this, jay rides obamas d***. Gays should not get married, they have civil partnerships they can get. I have no problem with gays (it aint natural in my opinion but what you do in pvt cant hurt me), but I will NOT be happy if I see men getting married, and will not get married in a church where gay marriages take place.
But anyway Im not american so this wont affect me much. Just hoping I never see this happen in the UK.

So you dont even read the bible??? ok….well no point in responding.
And Im not saying I agree or disagree, but as strongly as people feel towards “gay” marriage, they should be feel the same way towards divorce. I guarantee they will be more “straight” divorces than gay marriages….
@Aaa
Hmm haha gay people who get married doesn´t do it in a church darling. Don´t you know there´s a separation between the Church and the State in civilized countries? Not even half of the straight people get married by the church here in Spain. Civil marriage is what counts, and thankfully everybody can do it here since 2005 or so. Nobody died, nobody even remembers the controversy. The USA are next, you better be prepared and get over it 🙂 It makes us all better, ask in Canada, Holland, Argentina and some others too
Why dont they allow the civil unions that Gay peole can get by recognized by the states legally so that gay people have the same rights as straight couples, cuz to me it seems like gay people want the right legally and not much about the intstitution of marriage which from the bible states is between man and women and that being a religous thing cant affect so all this hoopla can be avoided for real. Call it a union and make it so that if when their partner dies they recieve the same benefits that married couples recieve.
why does he say ” you can chose to love whoever you love” Since when was loving someone a choice! You just do it instinctually.
@Blonde s****** :
keep dreaming. 😉
shutup Taylor Swift fan, hahaha-choosing meaning just that, let it be, whomever you love, whatever you love, why does it bother anyone else is the question-WHY DO I CARE WHO MARRY’S WHO?!?!?!
@NICK
I was just commenting on the words he used! Im all for gay marriage.. doesn’t bother me one bit
I don’t discourage gay marriage but I also keep in mind that this lifestyle is for individuals that are not going to procreate the natural way. Love is love and you really cannot help who you fall in it with. Have a beautiful one!
good for Jay. The last thing I want any rapper to do is condemn a group of people. Rap has a history of being misognistic, glorifying violence, drugs, murder, greed, so for a rapper, or anyone in hip hop to condemn homosexuality would be absolutely ridiculous!!
good job Jay.
STOP HATEING OTHER PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE FOR WHO THEY LOVE AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ((((((((BLACK PEOPLE)))))WE ARE STILL SO CLOSED MINDED IN WHAT WE THINK, IN THE MUSIC WE LISTEN TO (HIP-Hop and even R&B) TO THE THINGS WE VOTE FOR!!!! (IF WE EVEN VOTE THAT YEAR) ITS REALLY A F****** MESS THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE STILL SO MUCH MORE FORWARD THINKG THEN WE ARE AS A PEOLPE . SO LIKE I SAID GOOD FOR HIM LETS HOPE OTHER FOLLOW SUIT.
If anything all this gay talk is turning my stomach , I don’t want to watch the news, read the paper, listen to the radio because of all this gay talk. All I can do is pray
finally! something i can respect this man for

Why you don’t want to met me.?
Oh suicideblonde please save your patriotic b.s. and quit taking everything so damn seriously. Does it matter when Jay announces his support for gay marriage?? You think he’s jumping on a President Obama bandwagon but I bet you would have said the same thing about Kanye. But Kanye has been an outspoken supporter of gay marriage for 6 or 7 years now.
Oh and that grape juice.. Did you even bother to do some research before writing the article? Not trying to sound rude but this is NOT a hip hop ‘first’ at all! Kanye West AND P. Diddy have both been outspoken in support of gay couples right to marry. You probably never heard about it because it wouldn’t fit the media narrative of hip hop artists being more homophobic than other artists.
Good for him…as he said, discrimination is discrimination. POINT BLANK PERIOD!!
Jay z s OFFICIALLY LOST
Okay now I see the scheme. This is why CNN actually devoted time to discuss Rihanna unfollowing Chris Brown on twitter as though they were discussng the many service men and women who have been killed in this senseless war on terror!
Enters this bullsh** by the BIGGEST HOMOPHOB & MISOGYNIST IN RAP MUSIC HISTORY! Well Jay-Z, how DARE YOU COMPARE a person’s sexual orientation with the CONTINUED ORGANIZED SYSTEM of RACIAL DISCRIMINATION experienced by African-Americans in America! Wow…really?
Listen BEYONCE’S PET CAMEL:
1) What is wrong in America is YOU SELLING DOPE TO THE PPL IN YOUR COMMUNITY! You have been responsible for drug addicts committing crimes (rapes, robberies, murders) so that you could fund a career in music!
2) What is wrong in America is YOUR BEATING of WOMEN (but Oprah loves you so I guess your BEATING OF WOMEN isn’t that bad).
3) What is wrong in America is YOU CALIING WOMEN B**CHES, WH**ES, SL*TS etc IN YOUR RAP SONGS for many many many many years… 20yrs to be exact (but Russell Simmons the CEO of Def SCAM, seems to have developed amnesia when it comes you and your LYRICS & ENTIRE SONGS downing & humiliating women)!
4) What is wrong in America is YOU USING THE WORD “F*GGOT” in your RAP SONGS throughout the years!
But hey this is America, the LAND OF MEDIA-DRIVEN “SMOKE & MIRRORS” so lets all celebrate the CHANGE WE HAVE WITNESSED IN SEAN CARTER! Wow,
it’s like the latest installment of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. …..”Can you see my transformation”?
