"Kanye West Calls for End to Gay Bashing"

[GreenPartyVoter]

Kanye West says "gay" has become an antonym to hip-hop - and that it needs to be stopped.

During an interview for an MTV special, the 27-year-old rapper launched into a discussion about hip-hop and homosexuality while talking about "Hey Mama," a song on his upcoming album, "Late Registration."

West says that when he was young, people would call him a "mama's boy."

"And what happened was, it made me kind of homophobic, 'cause it's like I would go back and question myself," West says on the show, "All Eyes on Kanye West," set to air Thursday night (10:30 p.m. ET).

1. Great news ...

It's good to see someone within the rap/hip-hop community stand up against the rampant homophobia in hip-hop!
