At least I hope so.
And Vin is a permanent troll so I don't know why y'all are getting pressed.
Anyway, the lyrics are homophobic, no two ways about it, and they should be condemned.

You all have no right to tell gays, women, blacks, or whoever he decides to PURPOSELY offend the next day that they don't have a right to be offended or express it. Wrong is wrong.
Point blank period.

When did he say in there that it wasn't wrong? In fact he clearly said "Does it make it right? Nah."
Why don't you stop generalizing everyone based on what a few people in here have said.

You sound ridiculous.

Are you saying that only gay people have this trait?
Why aren't you talking about how you find it hard to defend straight people?
Why do only gay people have to be perfect for you to like them or defend them?

I don't have a problem with gay people, I have a problem with gay people who feel the need to be put on a pedestal.

Do you know anything about the Stonewall Riots?
Do you know anything, literally ANYTHING, about the things gay people have gone through in very recent history?

It's not cool in the hip-hop industry. Multiple artists have come out to support gay marriage (most notably Jay-Z). Hip-hop isn't perfect and there are some hateful rappers out there, but hip-hop as a whole does not consider slandering gays as "cool" and I am sure doors will close if you are a mainstream rapper and say that kind of ****. Eminem, I suppose, is an exception.

No one is generalizing.
You all say "that doesn't make it right" but at the same time you're still trying to justify what Eminem does by saying "this is what he does" and "he built a career of off this".
How can you excuse what Eminem does but at the same time condemn people for being offended by him clearly trying to..... offend people?

That's nice but what does the fact that they happen to be attracted to the same gender have anything to do with it? Assholes are assholes. Nothing to do with their race, sexuality, etc.

Okay?!
I mean if their point is "This is what Eminem does, he offends people," shouldn't they kind of EXPECT the offended response? What kind of mixed messages and arguing just for the sake of arguing?

I'm not gay so no, I do however know that you'll have been suffered a lot and preach to people everyday about equality and how being gay isn't a sin, yet certain members on this site make it very hard to do so

Asking not to be called offensive names is not a pedestal. It's basic human respect.

It's that "get over it", laid back, I don't care attitude that allows it to continue.
