Again, trying to take the power out of something, I WAS NEVER REFERRING TO SOMEONES SEXUAL PREFERENCE WHEN USING THAT WORD. Who knows, but why not try it out?Īlso, ever since my career started, ive been labeled as a homophobe, simply because of my use of the word faggot. Or maybe my whole idea on this is stupid. This made the photo even more important to me, because it was me playing with the idea of taking the power out of something so stupid. The thing that tops it off is the homo erotic tone of the hand holding, which to some degree HAS to piss off the guys who takes this logo serious. Throw a little rainbow in the logo ( i still wonder, who was the guy that said a rainbow is the gay symbol? thats another article stay tuned) and take a photo with a white guy in it and we have an amazing photo. Now having the thought process that i have, i asked myself some questions: What if a black guy wore this logo on a shirt? Would he be promoting self hate? Would he be taking the power out of a shape? What if a gay guy wore this on a shirt? Would he promoting Homophobia? Then BAM! I Had it. Nothing wrong with that correct? But the weird thing is that its primarily supported by White Supremacist organizations.( KKK, Aryan Nation, Etc) Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that these guys aren’t fans of Blacks, Gays, Asians or anything else that doesn’t fit in “white” box. To make it simple, its just a group of Caucasians who take pride in being white. Soaking my brain with as much info as i could on the subject, i pondered to myself if there was anyone still pushing this Nazi propaganda during these days? That is when i came across Neo-Nazis, The Ku Klux Klan and The White Nationalist Community. This opened a door to a lot of things, one of them being the Nazi regime during the 40s. The way that one man could control so many brains always intrigued me. It was a period in time where all i wanted to do was read about different dictators across the world. He penned a lengthy explanation on his Tumblr about the shirt: In 2015, Tyler began selling a t-shirt on his website under his ‘Golf Wang’ fashion label intended to make a statement against homophobia by appropriating a white supremacist symbol and coloring it with a rainbow. It’s just another word that has no meaning.” He knows when I say that word I’m not thinking of someone’s sexual orientation. Frank is gay and I use that word all the time. But if I know that I’m not a n-word…I’m not gonna get offended because I know that I’m not that. And that might sound very ignorant, but if you’re a black person and someone calls you the n-word and you get offended, maybe you might be. The way that I see things, it’s you chose to be offended if you care more about stuff like that. ”That’s just a word, you can take the power out of that word. He later told Arsenio Hall that the word “faggot” is only offensive if you choose to be offended: Some people might take it the other way I personally don’t give a sh–.” If it offends you, it offends you…If you call me a n-a, I really don’t care, but that’s just me, personally. Tyler also told MTV News, in response to the controversy: “Well, I have gay fans and they don’t really take it offensive, so I don’t know. I don’t want anyone to think I’m homophobic.” I don’t know, we don’t think about it, we’re just kids. I just think ‘faggot’ hits and hurts people. Tyler told NME at the time: “I’m not homophobic. He used the word “faggot” and its variants 213 times on his debut album and was blasted by GLAAD for homophobic and misogynistic lyrics. Tyler has been creating controversy for years with his lyrics. Thought it would be like the Frank poof, goneīarely interested, but I went to my boys like bruh Truth is, since you kid, I thought it was a phase I didn’t wanna talk and tell em’ my location Garden shed, garden shed, garden shed, garden shed They suggest the garden shed is the closet, the Frank reference is Frank Ocean… He also said this in August of last year in response to a tweet from Kendall Jenner regarding rumors that they were dating:Īlso, via Highsnobiety, here are the lyrics to Tyler’s first verse on “Garden Shed” referenced above. I TRIED TO COME OUT THE DAMN CLOSET LIKE FOUR DAYS AGO AND NO ONE CARED HAHAHHAHAHA
