IS TYLER, THE CREATOR G OUT AS A GAY MAN OR JT A QUEER-BAG PROVOTR?
Tyler The Creator has e out the closet and nfirms that he is gay on his new album Scum F**k Flower Boy. The album was somehow leaked onle on Sunday * is flower boy a gay album *
It’s not easy beg a gay hip-hop fan. 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. 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”).
“I’m bummed out bee ’s like, du, I’m not homophobic. 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.
TYLER THE CREATOR SAYS HE IS GAY ON NEW ALBUM “FLOWER BOY”
* is flower boy a gay album *
Or is this jt another example of a button-phg attentn-seeker, ridiculg the gay experience for puerile effect? 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.
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. Constantly talkg about beg gay or mtg gay acts isn’t a reflectn of fort and acceptance.

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. Gay or straight, he’s aware of how hip-hop has changed and that means rcg those numero (still unfiven) of faggot down to zero.
This article was amend on 26 July 2017 to change the 213 of faggot on Tyler, the Creator’s but album to 213 of faggot and other anti-gay lyrics. Immediately after the leak, the album received a lot of attentn as fans speculated that Tyler was g out as beg gay through some of the songs on the album – most explicly on the seventh track, “Garn Shed”. Tyler The Creator has e out the closet and nfirms that he is gay on his new album Scum F**k Flower album was somehow leaked onle on Sunday night and some of the lyrics are raisg some eyebrows.
“Nobody r that tyler the creator is gay, all he dated was whe girls that look like whe boys anyways, ” one fan wrote on Twter, while another fan add, “Everyone’s like “Tyler the creator is gay omg whaaaaat” like he hasn’t said he was already like six tim before. “I’m not surprised Tyler The Creator is Bi/Gay I’m jt wonrg why took him so damn long to e out the closet when we all knew lowkey, ” Kiddie album which is officially tled Flower Boy is currently available on iTun for pre-orr. Frank Ocean is mored to be on the gut homophob when they realize Tyler the creator is gay and they've been feel him for years — Young Forever (@yourieank) July 10, 2017If Tyler the Creator really is gay, he probably like skny redhead whe boys so I have like ZERO chance wh that nigga?????
