Eminem Supports Gay Marriage
Eminem has used every homophobic word imaginable in a lot of his songs but he has apparently changed his mind and is now a supporter of gay marriage.
Eminem recently did an interview with the New York Times when they asked if he regrets any of his lyrics in the past when it comes to gay people and women.
You’ve been accused of writing gay-bashing lyrics in the past. Would you like to see gay marriage approved in Michigan, where you live? “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.”
Do you regret having written so many songs that refer to women as “bitches” and “hos” who exist solely for your pleasure? “Anything I’ve ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time. But I think I’ve calmed down a bit. My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be.”
On if Slim Shady still exists: “Shady still exists. But I don’t think the subjects on this record call for, you know, bring the chainsaws and axes out and murder everyone on this record. There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record.”
I wonder if Eminem really has changed his opinions on this or if he is just trying to get more sales for his new album, Recovery, which is out now. But either way it’s good that he is speaking up, more celebrities should do the same.
