Ok, this is kind of tongue in cheek but it makes my point.
You did a great video around primary day about how everyone should vote but you didn't indicate who or what party you were voting
for. Does that mean that you are in the closet when it comes to your political views? I am not too familiar with West's music, does he talk about sex in his music?
If he does not then this seems to be part of his personal life which he chooses not to share with his fans the way that you encouraged people to vote without disclosing your own personal views.
West would alienate fans if he talked about his sexuality the way you would alienate some of your fans if you aired your political leanings. Does that make any sense?
Wow, your totally right Chris. I never thought about that before. I did just come out myself..(at 40!!!) but now I do seem to be taken more seriously when I speak out on these issues. I notice a change it's like I'm more credible when I talk about gay issues now. Your right though.
Of course it is always possible, but I cant help but wonder if maybe he has a loved one or a friend who has suffered from discrimination and wants to stand up for them. Only time will tell I suppose. Love your comments!
I just think it's silly to reject advocation from someone who has a big influence in a community that lacks any pro-gay voices based on the assumption that they are closeted. Even if they are closeted, that doesn't make what they can do for the gay community nil. Just my thoughts.
Chris... I am not bored or angry at your comments hun. In fact, I seem to agree with you very often. I think you are such an amazing person and I hope you have a great week. =)
Again, in my opinion, I can't take away from him the ability to come out the best way he nows how just like everybody else. I don't think it's fair that we say he HAS to come bursting out of the closet just because he's a public figure and he's speaking positively about other gays. I think he has the right to do it the best way he emotionally knows how. I have no issue with him. And Hope that *IF* he is gay, he'll see the light and be able to be open like the rest of us. Much love.
One question---what is wrong with str8 people advocating for gays, white people advocating for blacks, and on and on. What is wrong with that. You're saying, IMHO, that only black people ought to speak out for racial equality? I believe I'm seeing evidence of a person advocating militant "outing". That is not for anybody but the person affected to judge. Just my last two cents worth on this subject.
"You don't have to be gay to support gay rights, you don't have to be black to support black rights, but you can't be closeted and support gay rights... at least not when you're a public figure."
Those are my words VERBATIM. Very hard to misinterpret. Yet you manage to keep doing it. If you're not going to listen to what I express, don't bother commenting.
wow this whole Kanye thing has escalated pretty quickly huh... my comments are for how funny chris can be in his vids. Oh and does he wear those ear phones for any particular reason when hes macbook vlogging?
TnDon: Chris' belief that Kanye is a closeted homosexual is the basis for his assertion that if Kanye would match his spirited support of gay people with the acknowledgment of his homosexuality it would then give his support more influence. Chris says if his perception of Kanye's sexuality is mistaken his opinion is then irrelevant. Also, Chris does believe a straight person can support a gay person we know this from a past video where he speaks about wanting this validation from his parents.
omg yes i love the rain... with no conditions :p my friends think i'm weird when i go for walks in the rain, always take a camera with me too. the rain makes everything pretty.
I understand and respect your opinion. However I think the general public does not listen to "out" individuals but dismiss them as advocates for their "agenda". When straights, closeted or not, speak they do have a wider audience. Hopefully, the day is coming when all this will seem like a silly discussion because everyone will be accepted for who they are. Well, I can hope, can't I? :)
That's the problem Chris. There is no info out there alluding to Kanye actually being gay. I also don't think he's gay. Kanye is not Anderson Cooper nor Jodie Foster. You are speaking about a person with absolutely no evidence of the person being gay, and there have been no blind items about him either. He's not Chace Crawford.
There's actually been a LOT of blind items and speculation about his sexuality, specifying which gay club in Chicago he used to frequent before his fame, the types of boys he used to pick-up. All talk, no facts. But none of this gossip is why I think he's gay...
I have my impression of him simply for the same reasons we think Anderson Cooper, Ricky Martin, Jodie Foster, and Queen Latifah are gay --- cuz there's just a feeling we get. Doesn't mean we're right. Doesn't mean we're wrong.
I know who Anderson Cooper's boyfriend is. Jodie Foster is pretty much out. Queen Latifah, and Ricky Martin are the only ones who we can't prove.
Kanye seems to be a big mama's boy to me. There's nothing that strikes me as gay, and look, people who speak out in favor of gay rights usually don't speak out if they themselves are trying to dodge the issue about their own sexuality, if it was in question. He would probably stay silent. I never read any blind items on him.
What'eva McBEANER (you remember that one? from Email u did not reply to!) You have no clue what some of us who do not scream GAY do to protect some of you, IE: the day you got beat down and were crying. Would have NEVER have happend if I taught u 2 fight and I can say this because nobody in NYC scares me, gun or not most can't fight 1 on 1 or know how 2 really use a gun. If so big on gay rights how come you and that other GIRL haven't married yet??????????
Chris I agree to a certain extent but you must undestand that the world Kanye comes from isn't as open minded and as forgiving as the world you and I live in.
speaking of people needing to come out of the closet, your criticising someone for being gay yet you have gone to youtube searching for gay content... I think your the silly rabbit for thinking that anyone on youtube cares about your opinion.
the rain is TOTALLII awesome!! ^-^ especially when there's hard thunder! (not lightening, i don't want to die lol)

You just made my point for me. Kayne KNOWS that ppl will probably assume he's straight if he speaks out... EXACTLY. Get it?
littleBIGGERchris 3 years ago
No, the rap community will believe that he is gay because he made the comments. That's how it works. They are the ones who perpetuate this.
