Here you go. An article “in his own words”. The New Gay blog has posted my candid piece, “Gay in R&B: The Industry’s Known Secret“ What do I have to say? Check it:
.
“There has always been homophobia in the entertainment industry. People have been told to hide their relationships, change their lyrics, dress differently, and much more. When I began in the music industry, it was expected that my lyrics would be about “her” and who “she” was to me. I remember sitting in the studio with the lyricists they brought in and talking about how we can effectively change all the men I referenced in my lyrics to women. There was talk from managers about getting me a beautiful girlfriend to hang on my arm. There were photo shoots where I struggled to keep the baggy jeans they brought from wardrobe from falling to my ankles. It took some growing up to realize what I had become.”

Make sure you go and check it.. and I’d really like to know your opinion.. does the industry overstep her bounds? Am I right to put her in her place? Discuss children.
