THE REASON KURT COBA PRETEND TO BE GAY FOR YEARS

I've never seen somebody on a major label say, "If you're a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, we don't want you to buy our rerds.

Y, KURT COBA WAS A GNGE IN. HE WAS ALSO A GAY RIGHTS HERO.

I n talk about those issu terviews -- I thk 's pretty obv that we're agast the homophob and the sexists and the racists, but when "Teen Spir" first me out, mastream dienc were unr the assumptn that we were jt like Guns N' were his words: "You shut your bch up, or I'm takg you down to the pavement. Those people are total sexist jerks, and the reason we're playg this show is to fight homophobia a real small way. The guy is a fuckg sexist and a racist and a homophobe, and you n't be on his si and be on our si.

" [Lghs]You know, you were probably takg money om people who were votg y on 9 [an antigay ballot measure] -- but they really wanted to see Nirvana. I ed to pretend I was gay jt to fuck wh people. I've had the reputatn of beg a homosexual every day sce I was 14.
