Rapper Jay Z supports same-sex marriage, says to those who don’t 'It’s discrimination, plain and simple'
Rapper and media mogul Jay-Z spoke recently about the topic of same-sex marriage and whether or not he thought that President Obama’s support of same-sex marriage will cost him votes in the upcoming election. The rapper was very clear that he is a supporter of same sex marriage as well as the President.
On the topic of same-sex marriage:
I’ve always thought of it as something that is still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business, they can choose to love whoever they love. That’s their business. It’s no different then discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination, plain and simple.
Regarding whether or not the President’s views will cost him votes in the upcoming election:
I think it’s the right thing to do, so whether or not it costs him votes … it’s really not about votes, it’s about people. So whether or not it costs him votes, it’s the right thing to do as a human being.
Any chance we can get Jay Z on the phone with Stevie Wonder????
