For years, I’ve wrtled wh my love of the mic on one hand wh my distaste for the homophobia embedd wh on the other, grimacg at the tratg ease wh which a rapper is able to say faggot, a hateful word that no straight person has any right to be g.

IS TYLER, THE CREATOR G OUT AS A GAY MAN OR JT A QUEER-BAG PROVOTR?

I’ve found this pecially problematic wh the mic of Tyler, the Creator, the 26-year-old provotr whose lyrics have often aimed to shock and repulse, whether addrsg vlence agast women (“Punch a bch her mouth jt for talk’ sh”) or his apparent disgt at gay men (“Come take a stab at , faggot, I pre-orred your sket”). This progrsn has e to a crcendo wh his latt album, the dreay melancholic Flower Boy, the tle of which potentially acts as a clue to what might be his most ntroversial statement the rapper who ed the word faggot, or other anti-gay variatns, 213 tim on his but album actually be gay or bisexual himself?

In an terview, he once said he “100% would go gay for ’96 Leo”, and a recent Instagram post married a picture of DiCapr om Romeo + Juliet wh the words “y boyiend y” another new track, Garn Shed, there are a number of referenc, both oblique and obv. ”The songs have led fans to turn tectiv by lvg to Tyler’s past terviews, songs and social media posts, surg them for evince that might support the assertn that one of rap’s most seemgly homophobic figur might have been gay all along. The clu range om the slight to the slightly ’s quipped about dulgg gay sex on tracks like Seven and Domo 23, released a le of T-shirts that reappropriated a symbol of whe supremacy wh rabow lors – oh, and tweeted this out:I TRIED TO COME OUT THE DAMN CLOSET LIKE FOUR DAYS AGO AND NO ONE CARED HAHAHHAHAHA— Tyler, The Creator (@tylerthecreator) April 13, 2015.

DEBRA GAY

In a Rollg Stone profile om 2015, the journalist Ernt Baker noted the nstant referenc to beg gay amid the banter of Tyler and his entourage, g him to wonr what exactly was at the root.

SUBS LOOKG FOR DOMS (GAY MEN ONLY)

When queried about , he claimed to be “gay as fuck” and said his iends were ed to him “beg gay”, but when asked outright, he nied ’s clearly somethg fetishistic for Tyler about homosexualy and the latt bout of gay referenc uld jt be a more tempered eratn of llg everyone a faggot or equatg gay wh stupid. I’m not phg the cynil ia that Tyler has “gone gay” to achieve the mercial succs of Ocean, but his msagg has clearly been tailored to avoid limg breakout he is straight, as he has claimed on multiple ocsns, then his ntued obssn wh all thgs gay strik me as schoolyard-level, mirrorg the tirome bag I n rell om straight teens back at school.

Channel Orange also changed perceptns wh the mic dtry toward a gay artist of lor, and while acceptance of Ocean has -existed wh bigotry, progrs has been unniably monumental. We no longer take as a given that homophobia is a part of hip-hop (the recent uproar over some ill-advised ments om Migos signalg this), and artists such as ILoveMakonnen and Taylor Bent have e out early their reers whout facg as many problems as they might have ’s willgns to e speculatn over his sexualy shows that he’s now existg wh a genre that allows him to play wh labels (see also: Young Thug a drs) and even if turns out to be jt that – a game – we n at least take as a symbol of wir progrs.

Queer creators like Rebec Sugar (Steven Universe), Shadi Petoski (Danger & Eggs), Noelle Stevenson (She-Ra), Tim Ferle (High School Mil: The Mil: The Seri), and Dana Terrace (The Owl Hoe) have fought tooth and nail to get queer characters to their shows, and they succeed, whout the straight, cis privilege that Hirsch Hirsch wants to nsir himself an ally, that's fe, but he needs to stop pretendg that cludg two effectual and simple-md gay ps his show mak him an LGBTQ+ trailblazer.

WHY THE HELL DO MIC BEE "GAY"?

"Imam 40 goda i vjerovali ili ne saznao sam da sam gay prije godu dana, kada sam upoznao starijeg čovjeka, starijeg od mene setak goda, koji mi je otvor vrata do tada nepoznatog, sa kojim sam rad stvari o kojima nisam sm ni da pomislim i sa kojim sam i dalje u tajnoj vezi. Udobno uvaljen u fotelju, sa blagom erekcijom, gledali smo neko vrijeme i komentirali što se događa, kada je postav panje da li sam ikada gledao gay pornografiju, na što sam ja odor da nisam ali da nemam ništa protiv – moram da priznam da sam b znatiželjan. I am so glad you published the letter, "How Can I Give My Straight Boyiend the Gay Blowjob He Secretly Yearns For, " bee I've been wantg to ask a siar qutn, though our relatnship 's not secret.

They asked if they uld kiss her; they asked if she would talk to their parents; they told her that they uldn’t image their own mothers and fathers supportg them so publicly, or supportg them at woman’s name was Jeanne Manford, and she was marchg alongsi her twenty-one-year-old gay son, Morty. The anizatn they dreamed up that day, which started as a sgle support group Manhattan, was ially lled Parents of Gays; later, was renamed Parents FLAG, for Parents and Friends of Lbians and Gays; nowadays, is known only as PFLAG. The same year Avril was born, Morty’s psychiatrist summoned Jeanne and Jul to his office and rmed them that their beloved goln boy and sole survivg son was the bt of her knowledge, Jeanne Manford had never known anyone who was gay.

Polil anizg was virtually impossible—one early gay-rights group that attempted to officially rporate New York was told that s mere existence would vlate state sodomy laws—and posive cultural reprentatn was all but nonexistent; there were no openly gay or lbian policians, punds, relig lears, actors, athlet, or micians the mastream. Newspapers ed the words “homosexual” and “pervert” terchangeably, and the handful of gay people who appeared on televisn to discs their “life style” almost always had their fac hidn shadows or otherwise obscured. In 1974, when “The Pat Colls Show” aired a segment on parents of gay children, the host troduced by sayg, “Even if he mted murr, I gus you’d say, ‘Well, he’s still my child, no matter what.
