Jay-Z Supports President Obama’s Stance On Gay Marriage: ‘It’s Not About Votes. It’s About People!’
He may have been in Philadelphia yesterday to announce his Made in America Festival ,but Jay-Z was more concerned about equal rights for all made in America. In an interview with CNN’s Poppy Harlow, the 42-year-old rapper backed President Barack Obama‘s recent endorsement of same-sex marriage.
“I’ve always thought of it as something that was still holding the country back,” Jay-Z said in regarding to the ban on gay marriage. “What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business. It’s no different than discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination, plain and simple.”
Happily married to pop star Beyonce Knowles since April 4, 2008, Jay-Z made it clear that the right to walk down the aisle was a right that should be made available to all Americans at any cost. “It’s really not about votes,” Jay-Z said regarding President Obama’s recent comments that many feared may cause backlash from African-American voters. “It’s about people.”
Turning to the economy, Hov held steadfast to his belief that Americans are poised to make a comeback despite the recession. “This is a test of our character. You know, for a long time, you know, we had it pretty good in America,” he said. “We were floating on this high. Well, we were hiding some of the troubles that we were going through. So, I just see this as a test of our character. I think we’ll get there and we test the resolve of Americans. Just to remind us that we have that fight. We haven’t had such a fight since the Great Depression.”

Jay is a HOMO!
….no surprise this demonic influence of a “man” will side with disgust perversion. he (jay) embodies on his own pride, boasting, blaspheming, lover of himself, rebellion, evilness–and speaks them into the youth. I’m 24 —growing up i didn’t know any better (he was my fav rapper) but the devil is a L I E. no more— no more—-garbage lyrics, hypnotizing subconscious gestures. I don’t listen to the poison of this man or the next (all of hip hop culture is deceptive)….i could care less about hollywood…..i feel so bad for others who follow after these people (celebrities) as if they were “gods” —(little “g”) they are no gods….they are petty—weak—foolish men. And as for the homosexuality craze sweeping this world today –the word of God separates the right & wrong with no help from man….
”Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? BE NOT DECEIVED:
Gods says : Fornicators, idolaters (those who worship false gods), adulterers, effeminate (men who act, look, dress as women) and abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexuals). 1 Cor. 6:9 KJV
At the end of the day—– “WOE UNTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL; THAT PUT DARKNESS FOR LIGHT, AND LIGHT FOR DARKNESS, THAT PUT BITTER FOR SWEET AND SWEET FOR BITTER”…Isaiah 5:20 KJV—-God tells us, WOE (warning to them that call evil good and good evil) people can lollygag around but it’s a new time approaching. Knowledge is power—you can’t get enough in the Lord’s word.
Gay marriage?

@ Cynthia…. I visited your link. It’s funny the world looks at people who stand up to what is right as “hating homosexuals”. Lol… what else could be ones defense? But it’s not that at all. I couldn’t see this world being so accepting to allow Gay marriages to prosper to where i take my child to the park i have to endure walking past two men on the bench kissing and my baby ask “mommy–why is that man kissing that man”. Unlike so many who allow television to rise their children there are some fit parents still left who want their kids to be all they can be. —-Society today as a whole is like a rotten apple, that link you wanted us to read makes everything “appear” so nice on the outside—but its core is rotten and is not fruitful at all or fit to eat—yet we feed this stuff to people and since their so bubble headed they eat it up.
——–yes, we have people today who marry and cheat on their husband/wife—we have all of the above but are you saying b/c we have some who sin/fall short being heterosexuals in (traditional marriages) we should say “well, since divorce is up– to hell with it–it’s okay in accepting homosexual unions”. I mean—i don’t see the point. MAN + WOMEN= KID……From man came woMAN….. 2+2=4. People can do what they want. But at the end of the day the math shall always remain. No matter how many “roses & sunflower fields” the world tries to paint for gay marriage, majority of us still do the math. It’s not “hate” it’s just “common sense”
