Shayla Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Eminem backs gay marriage Eminem has thrown his support behind same-sex marriage in his home state of Michigan, following years of complaints from gay rights groups about his offensive lyrics. The Slim Shady star has previously come under fire over his controversial songs and was targeted by campaigners last year when he labelled homosexual singers Lance Bass, Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken "f**gots" in his track Elevator. However, the star insists his outlook is "more mature" than in previous years - joking that if same-sex couples wish to marry, they have every right to be as "miserable" as their 'straight' counter-parts. He tells the New York Times, "I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want. "It's the new tolerant me! My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be." Source : Torontosun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neowinian Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I really like Eminems songs and I do not find them offensive myself. But this is a good step forward for him as a lot of people disrespected him for some of his songs about same sexual couples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted June 23, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2010 Not exactly the kind of person I expected to come out and say it, but I'm impressed he did (even if he was still rather crass about it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
