Rapper Warren G thinks gays should stay out of sight

”I ain’t against gay people. I’m just against it being promoted to kids…. I just mean that on some of these TV shows, they got dudes kissing. And kids are watching that shit. We can’t have kids growing up with that.”

Portion of Vanity Fair interview with wealthy rapper Warren G who somehow links the financial irresponsibility of flashy hip hop stars with public gay affection. He then pits that against the best interests of children, yet says he has no problem with gay people … just as long as they stay out of sight. The original question was, in part, about P-Diddy bragging of his Cristal and Picasso’s, so it’s not clear why Warren G began talking about gay people at all. (Vanity Fair)
