MYKKI BLAN ARRTED PORTUGAL "FOR BEG GAY"

” Wrg is their first love; they even nsired givg up mic 2015 to bee an vtigative journalist, documentg “homosexualy and gay culture remote rners of the world”. We’d planned this phone ll as a chance to talk about the state of homophobia and transphobia mic, but our nversatn bounc around wildly — om Pri experienc (still very much on our bras) to the state of LGBTQ reprentatn the mic dtry to their own journey wh genr as well as their wdg path through the dtry.

On one hand, my reer began before gay marriage was passed the U. In certa queer circl, and even certa circl that I felt were like whe gay power circl, I did feel a changg of the guard a posive way, where wrers and edors and people that pull some weight the media are now people of lor, are now trans or genr non-nformg people of lor, are now lbians. But also Lil Nas X [appears to intify as] a cis male gay.

And I know she’s experienced timidatn and homophobia, but at the same time I feel like she’s fely more accepted the hip-hop muny bee she still has the same kd of hyper-mascule braggadoc as a cis het male.

Hip-hop has this reputatn for beg particularly homophobic, and people the dtry talk about as if ’s the genre that has been the slowt to embrace LGBTQ cln. Well, I would say that I disagree that hip-hop is more homophobic than pop.

And while historilly hip-hop has been a very homophobic, transphobic and queerphobic mil genre, to say that hip-hop is more homophobic than pop or untry or R&B I thk is actually racist, bee mak so that the more historilly passable genr are not rponsible for the transgrsns that they have ma agast the queer, genr non-nformg and LGBTQ muny. It almost absolv them and imak hip-hop a spegoat, when general we’re talkg about an entire mic dtry that has long been very homophobic. So, y, if you want to get to the nty grty, we have so many more exampl of homophobia and transphobia wh hip-hop songs — that’s somethg that no one n ny.

But I thk people should be very reful when they say that hip-hop is “more homophobic” than pop or untry or die.

MYKKI BLAN - GAY DOG FOOD (MIXTAPE)

” As we talk about homophobia and transphobia the dtry today, are you more optimistic about what you’ve seen even the last five years? It’s like when I started makg mic, two or three years later, Obama passed gay marriage. And so when I say, “Oh, I haven’t recently experienced transphobia or homophobia, ” the only reason why I haven’t is that I have now created a platform that enabl me to experience ls of .

But I remember playg that 2013 and nearly beg booed off the stage, for no other reason than people’s homophobia. I remember tellg my first manager, Charl Damga, who’s now A&R at Warp, “People are gonna give me this ‘gay rapper’ label.

He don't shy away om beg open his mic about his sexualy and sex life, which isn't unmon for straight artists to do hip hop mic, but not necsarily for a gay artist. He told Bra's iNews that homophobia isn't jt a thg hip hop.

"Sure, every genre of mic has people who are homophobic ... 'Mykki has a iend who works for a non-prof, msagg HIV rmatn to gay bars at the weekend.

‘So straight people still thk of HIV/Aids as this historil gay event.

"I'm beg arrted Portugal for beg gay, " Blan ially wrote on Facebook. "Please stop wrg hate speech, threateng to hang me, postg pictur of slav and leavg gay hate msag on my page, I have seen a really disturbg si of this culture tonight. "Acrdg to Noisey, Blan was orred to pay a 600 ro explaed the cint tail the ments sectns, and gave a siar statement to Noisey:I was swdled, by the Portugue police partment for beg a gay black tourist that is the only explanatn for this suatn.

RENNTRE GRATUE GAY à PARIS, (75)

More than an act of racism and prejudice or even homophobia ( which were all 3 factors) I realized that class matters and that an upwardly mobile black man isn't somethg people always want to see. I asked the police officer where the voucher office was and I was told to "go away" like I was nuance as if I had not waed the same le as all the other whe tourists and when I asked why he uld not help but uld gladly help the other tourists I was yelled at and told to "go away bicha" which is a gay slur, even though I had waed the same le as everyone world at a fair place, and the ia of a young succsful black guy don't always fly everywhere but I was sulted, and discrimated agast so I said "Fuck you" and walked he followed me si, ed his rad to ll other police g a scene the airport and told me "You are unr arrt" I said "exce me, I have not mted a crime, I asked you for help and you refed to help me" he said "You have sulted a police officer and that is a crime Portugal, you n't talk to me that way" and he arrted me. " That nstant battle to avoid margalizatn ntu, and arguably tips over, Blan’s latt project, the self-proclaimed "punk" album, Gay Dog of the first thgs you notice here is that Blan has sled back on actual rappg.
