JaRule got some baaaaad press for the homophobic remarks he made a few weeks back. How interesting that since he now has a new album due out in November, he seems to be trying to be nice, tolerant, and…. ???!!Spinner recently had an interview with him where he shared his thoughts:
Let’s get to this straightaway: You caused quite a bit of controversy with your comments in Complex magazine, saying — and I’m paraphrasing — that homosexuality is what’s wrong with America. Is it accurate to say that you suffer from some degree of homophobia?
“I’m a very avid speaker for all people’s rights and people having their own preference. I was taken out of context. My statement was more about where our mind state is as a people. We’re focused on the wrong things — like, our country is at war right now. These things are more of a problem to me. Like another case I just read about — young ladies being raped by six white men. These are the stories that should be popping up on my TV screen. That’s what I was talking about, and somehow it got spun into some other s—.”
How would you react if one of your kids told you that he or she was gay?
“That’s their own preference. I’m going to love them regardless. I have relatives that are homosexuals and, you know, they come over for Christmas, hang out. It’s something that starts with us. That’s why my album is named ‘The Mirror’ — because everybody has to look at themselves and take it upon themselves to educate. It’s my responsibility to educate my children — not the TV. I think a visual is more influential than audio, but that goes without being said. You know, that’s the world we live in and people are tight in the collar about a lot of issues. It is what it is.”
Where do you stand on gay marriage?
“It’s really not my business. I really could care less. It’s not something that bothers me.”
Ja Rule recently sat down for an interview with the latest issue of Complex magazine and shared his thoughts on homosexuality: “We need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can’t watch this shit. Dating shows that’s showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let’s talk about shit like that! If that’s not fucking up America, I don’t know what is.â€
What kind of chica makes babies with a guy like him? I can’t believe the nerve of this guy you would think the magazine wouldn’t even bother to print what he said. I like how he bashes people’s sexual orientation in fear for his children but then he swears like a sailor. That’s ok right?
