Homophobia in the Hip-Hop Community, Your thoughts, Tech?

Hip-Hop is notoriously tough on the gay community, which I've honestly always found kind of strange. Anyways, with the recent public support for same sex marriage shown in sports and in the media, it seems that acceptance and support in the hip-hop community is just a matter of time.

 

Tech, your lyrics are all about dealing with rejection, sorrow, strife, feelings of not-belonging, being rejected by your peers, etc. Additionally, a lot of your songs focus on inner strength, being yourself, telling people who don't accept you to 'go fuck themselves' (FTI). I'm curious to hear your feelings on the whole matter.

 

I feel this is a topic most rappers refuse to talk about, but as someone who values truth and honesty, I figure it would be pretty cool for you to be one of the first rappers to talk about it. 

 

All the best,

i feel sorry for you lost souls, who may never see the kingdom of heaven your pathetic lil insignificant lifes. will be as close to paradise as you get. some of you say you are Christian?. and than say the bible isn't from him.?

you really think every thing is coincidental? you really think its just a book written by some guys? just a bunch of random books never contradicting each other. or was it the word of God. copied word for word, over centuries, telling of the birth of Jesus and foretelling his death.?

you can't prove the books to be false. but yet you call them bullshit? have you never heard of the bible code?  the names of the genealogy alone tell the story of the Saviour. that kind of stuff is not coincidence, and could not be done by man alone.

God use to punish us, harsh and quickly. but now we have Jesus. who lived as a man, and died as man, so you could believe in him as your savior and creator not science.  as for now God isn't as "vengeful" as he once was. and we live in a nation were sci. has you all doubted, that the bible is accurate with the creation, so you doubt Moses, Israel, Abraham, Adam thus you are doubting Jesus and putting faith into science.  and that is taking the credit away from God, who created you and i, and all we can see and wrote the bible with the hands of the faithful. but i give up on you. how ever you will answer to your creator/savior soon. and every thing you say against me, will come back against you. for the Lord shall allow me to use you as stepping stones. i hope you turn from your selfish desires and become selfless before something bad happens to you all. as for me my days will be full of happiness, love, and sunshine.

when did this turn from our thoughts and opinions on it to arguing in what someone else believes in, and bringing the bible up..smh /end post like ferreal no one can state their own opinion on this site without someone arguing with it
"let no evil enter, because of the beliefs we hold. "

First off, the pledge had nothing to do with the bible. You see it fit to label everything under God, which is looking to deep into the subject. Ok, how’s this for you. Jesus can live in every human being. I agree with you on that. .
