The Gays Come Over To My House…. But Only During Christmas

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Gay Gay Gay

Washed-up rapper JaRule came under fire recently for some homophobic comments he made. But, now that he has a new album to promote, coming out in November, he's attempting to make nice.

Unsuccessfully!

Ja spoke with Spinner recently and this is what he had to say about things.

Let's get to this straightaway: You caused quite a bit of controversy with your comments in Complex magazine, saying — and I'm paraphrasing — that homosexuality is what's wrong with America. Is it accurate to say that you suffer from some degree of homophobia?

I'm a very avid speaker for all people's rights and people having their own preference. I was taken out of context. My statement was more about where our mind state is as a people. We're focused on the wrong things — like, our country is at war right now. These things are more of a problem to me. Like another case I just read about — young ladies being raped by six white men. These are the stories that should be popping up on my TV screen. That's what I was talking about, and somehow it got spun into some other s—.

How would you react if one of your kids told you that he or she was gay?

That's their own preference. I'm going to love them regardless. I have relatives that are homosexuals and, you know, they come over for Christmas, hang out. It's something that starts with us. That's why my album is named 'The Mirror' — because everybody has to look at themselves and take it upon themselves to educate. It's my responsibility to educate my children — not the TV. I think a visual is more influential than audio, but that goes without being said. You know, that's the world we live in and people are tight in the collar about a lot of issues. It is what it is.

Where do you stand on gay marriage?

It's really not my business. I really could care less. It's not something that bothers me.

Ughh.

He should just shut it!

      When he says "he could care less about gay marriage" it of course means that he DOES care about it.

      The phrase (and it seems to be a common problem) is "couldn't care less" if he really doesn't care.

      "Tappy feet,
      Craig has those tappy feet,
      Give him a down low beat,
      And he'll come out dancing,
      .
      I don't know,
      If he's on the down low,
      .
      But his dancing,
      Is quite entrancing,
      A bathroom beat
      born for romancing!
      .
      Feeling blue,
      Cause he just tapped my shoe,
      While he was looking through,
      The crack in my stall door,
      .
      Not to gripe,
      But he is not my type,
      Because he has those tappy feet!"

      Bullcrap! Didn't you post, PerezH, that he was complaining about MTV showing gay men kissing? Aren't JaRules' videos sexual as hell? Didn't he have that crackhead- I mean Bobby Brown on one of his video singing about thuggin'? Isn't thuggin' the last thing you want your kids to learn about?

      If you're going to make a comment, stand by it. Stand strong on what you believe in or keep your mouth shut. When you try to go back on it and sugarcoat, it doesn't work because, apparently, you say something that totally has nothing to do with what you stated earlier. It IS about personal preference. He prefers to sing about thuggin and hoes and spread it all over BET and MTV, than to let someone love whoever the hell they want to love.

      Perez…. stop being such a judgemental bastard. What you think is not the absolute correct truth. The gay community, (including you) want America to be open to Gays and not to judge right away, why don't you try that, dude. Your very optinionated and as a gay man it is very ironic!

      It is true, whether he really means it or not. Everyone is preoccupied in these made up issues - like gay marraige. There are more important things going on. This doesn't mean im against gay marraige - it's just NOT a critical issue at the moment.

      I believe that he is correct in part of what he said. I also would rather hear more about what is going on around the world than about Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. We, as young adults should be more aware of what is really going on and not about who is sleeping with who. I personally don't care to know that. What people do behing close doors is up to them. Everyone has the right to express themselves and we just have to accept that not everyone is going to see things our way. That is call tolerance. That goes for hispanics, arabs, gays , blacks and everyone else. Stop worrying about what other people think and just live your life.

      i think he made a solid point..it is none of his business. if more people thought like him, then homosexuality wouldn't be an issue..it would just be another way of life.

    43. hahaha says – reply to this


      43

      He sounds pretty Libertarian to me.

      He never said he was against gay marriage, he said he didn't care either way, since it doesn't affect him. If more people felt this way, there would be less homophobia. I'm a PFLAGer and support gay marriage, and wish more people felt like he does. You can't expect everybody to get on board right away. Isn't not caring either way better than being anti-gay-marriage???

    44. Mmm-hmm says – reply to this


      44

      He's also racist, apparently. WHY does he have to say that there were "young ladies being raped by six white men"? It's a horrible crime and skin color has absolutely nothing to do with the rape.

      If a celebrity said, "young ladies being raped by six black men" they'd be called out for being racist.

      I did not see the original comment, but it is possible that the media took what he said completely out of context and blew it up to have a hot topic to toss around. The media does it all the time, trust me. He could have said something like, "What's wrong with America is that people are focused on gay marriage and homosexuality" meaning the right wing nut jobs who vote for candidates just because they are against gay marriage, instead of caring about issues of universal health care, the war, human rights, etc. I never trust the media to get it right unless I see the transcript. It is all about the headline!

      Grow up and educate yourselves. You're just as dumb as Ja Rule. Even dumber… at least he's not making demoralizing generalizations about an entire race.

      If you say that you "could care less," then it means that you do care at least a little bit. If you are trying to say that you don't care at all, then you should say that you "couldn't care less." Get it?

      Well, if that's what he really said, and he clarified himself his comments were not homophobic. He's saying that we should be "past" focusing on homosexuality - and I agree, and I agree as a GAY man! Get over it Perez. Besides, if he's washed up, who gives a $h!t. LoL.

      As far as I am concerned the gays need to stop asking how people fell about them getting married, stand up, out yourselves, and fight for your rights like everyone else. Stop looking to be accepted and just live, and stop asking rappers how they feel about you.

      Most of them are gay themselves, and the others dont like you, so stop it.

      And who cares about Jah Rule, he's retired in the home of the washed out perpetrators.

      Some of you are taking this way out of context. How often does everyone here see all of their family? Usually, you don't see them all excpet at holidays (Christmas) and I think that is what he is saying. All of us posting blog comments probobly only see most of our family on holidays, imagine if you were an "entertainer" (if thats what you call Ja) and travelled and recorded all the time? You'd probobly see your family even less.

      He probobly only sees the gay people hes related to at christmas, like we only see our drunk uncles at christmas.

      Ja Rule is an idiot .

      Gay Marriage? SIMPLE….

      If Church and State are meant to be separate, then you cant petition the Government to allow you to enter a religious institution….

      And WHY THE HELL are gay people fighting to be "MARRIED" when the Church says you're all Fa@@ots and gonna burn in hell
      (Their words, Not Mine… I live by the JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED policy)

      Equal protection under the law.. YES!!!
      MARRIAGE?? You're barking up the wrong tree.

      But hey, at least you're doing your part to take air time from the real issues like Health care, the war and our crumbling infrastructure.

      I'm sure the tooty fruitys in New Orleans appreciate you rallying for their rights instead of their rebuilding efforts.

      But hey… I'm just saying.
