Tyler, The Creator doesn't understand
why people are opposed to gay rights.
The 23-year-old rapper made his
comments during an appearance on Larry King Now.
When host Larry King asked, “Do you
think we'll ever have a gay rap artist?” Tyler responded, “Maybe
one day.”
“But why does that shit matter?” he
added.
“I know,” King responded.
“Like, if you want to fuck dudes or
whatever, why does that matter? Like, why do we care?” Tyler said.
“I've never figured that out,” King
said.
“That's so fucking crazy, right?”
Tyler added. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit

However, several openly gay rappers,
including Fly Young Red and Le1f, are attracting large numbers of
fans. Fly
Young Red's video for Throw
That Boy Pussy
went viral on YouTube and Le1f
recently became the first gay rapper to appear on a network
late-night show.
