Ethics

Dumbass Quote of the Week

By Ed Brayton

Kanye West loves gay people:

Sway: Kanye, you've become a fashion icon. But along with the accolades you get for setting trends, like you did with the "Stronger" glasses and even the 808s & Heartbreak heart pendants, some people really mock you because of the way you dress. If you look on the Internet, there are even some of your peers and fans that say you "dress gay." What does that mean to you?

West: Well, it's like when people say, "Give me a natural pose." You can't pose natural. If you're posing, then it's not natural no more. So it's statements that people say. "Dressing gay" you can't dress like ... Your dress don't give away whether or not you like a man. Think about actors that straight dress up like a woman or something like that. People wanna label me and throw that on me all the time, but I'm so secure with my manhood. And that's the reason why I can go to Paris, why I can have conversations with people who are blatantly gay.
