Kanye Speaks On Homophobia, Glow In The Dark Tour

During his headlining set on the Glow In The Dark's NYC tour stop, rapper Kanye West condemned homophobia, urging people to 'open their minds':

"Open your fucking minds. Open your minds. Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. You know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way? Or because I said hey, dude, how you gonna say 'fag' right in front of a gay dude's face and act like that's ok. That shit is disrespectful. Coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supppoed to stay ten feet away. It should be time to break out of the intuitions that I was sayin', the steretypes, or the fear, the backlash that I would get if you don't believe in what I believe in, acceptin' people for who they are…they're very talented and if they do something special in the world and they're discriminated. I've flown across the world y'all, and I've come back here to tell you — open your minds and live a happier life…"

Kels Sidebar: I guess Ye' is getting upset about people talking about his lifestyle. Doesn't he know, you have to have tough skin to be in this industry?

And since we're on the topic of his 'Glow In The Dark' tour, if you missed 'Hip Hop Headlines' -the entertainment section I do on 92Q's Rap Attack, I premiered the track that Ye' did for Jay Z's Blueprint 3 album. The HOTTNESS came when Jay came out to perform the Smash, Jockin' Jay Z. Peep This! Blueprint 3 Baby!!!!

Kels Sidebar: I guess Timbaland was a lil premature when he told everyone that he was producing the entire Blueprint 3! I wonder does he have a 'tightface'?
