All tag results for 'homosexuality'

Now THIS is exactly what we like to hear!

While Snoop Dogg Lion has always been vocal in his support of the LGBT community, he recently raised some eyebrows during a recent interview by offering a very limited perspective on the possibility of homosexuality being accepted by the rap and hip-hop community!

However, it appears that the Reincarnated version of Bob Marley has re-evaluated his perspective on the matter, and in a new interview, now asserts that with the continuous merging of so many genres in the music world, as well as the political and cultural progression toward acceptance and unity, there may very well be openly gay rappers and hip-hop artists much sooner than later!

We just gained a newfound love for T-Pain!

The Auto-Tune lovin’ singer has recently taken to Twitter to BLAST all of the homophobes out there and give them a reality check!

Apparently, his gay assistant has been getting negative looks from people and that’s NOT okay with T-Pain as he tweets:

There have recently been a handful of rumors swirling around the internet about Daddy Yankee possibly being gay, but now it looks like the reggaeton singer is trying to put the stories to rest once and for all!

It all began last month when multiple websites began reporting about his sexuality, but the Gasolina singer debunked the myths via Twitter, saying:

Way to stand up for what is right!!

We are so proud of this New York City subway passenger who didn’t just let another man spew his anti-gay hate all over the train.

The man in the tan coat didn't back down from the hateful words coming his way as he defended himself and all other homosexuals.

And boy did he make his voice heard!

The mystery man was able to get all his fellow riders on his side as he stands against all the horrible things this so-called “preacher” is saying.

Seriously, the love happening in this train warms our heart!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

We tend to take our freedoms for granted in America. But imagine being arrested just for sending a text message.

Not a threat or bullying or even a dick pic- just a benign message of love.

Well, that's what Jean-Claude Roger Mbede is facing. After texting another man "I'm very much in love with you", he was imprisoned for 18 months.

Jean-Claude was only released on a provisional basis after equal rights activists protested his poor treatment. But now, sadly, the court has ruled he is to go back to prison to finish out his term. Jean-Claude says:

This is criminal, unjust, horrifying and it's actually happening this year. We are stunned.

Despite international criticism, Ugandan Speaker Rebecca Kadaga (above) says her country's "Kill The Gays" Bill will become law by December because most Ugandans "are demanding it."

The law will redefine the criminalization of same-sex relationships by dividing homosexuality into two categories (aggravated homosexuality and the offense of homosexuality), and assigning new, outrageous penalties to these "crimes."

"Aggravated homosexuality" is defined as gay acts committed by parents or authority figures, HIV-positive people, pedophiles and repeat offenders. If convicted, they will face the death penalty.

"Offense of homosexuality’" includes same-sex sexual acts or being in a gay relationship, and will be prosecuted by life imprisonment.

Several European countries have threatened to cut aid to Uganda if it passes. Still, somehow the Speaker considers the passage of this Bill a "Christmas gift" to the population.

How the majority of a nation could approve these laws is beyond our comprehension.

Our whole hearts go out to Uganda’s LGBT community. Their story is truly tragic.

Is it just us or does Joe Simpson look a little more FABULOUS than usual?

Jessica and Ashlee Simpson's father debuted a brand new look following the confirmation that his wife, Tina, filed for divorce in September.

Sources allege that the reason behind the split was his homosexuality, but the family's rep denies the rumor.

However, Joe's new style may say otherwise. Look at that coordination (above). Ha!

The 54-year-old was photographed out and about in El Lay on Friday with a new hairstyle and more youthful clothing.

Is he trying to look younger for 21-year-old male model Bryce Chandler Hill?

According to his alleged lover, probably not. He denied the reports last week with a tweet reading:
