If someone feels that the act of two men having intercourse with each other is disgusting, that's a perfectly legitimate feeling. And if they choose to express their disgust for this by labelling other things they find unpleasant as gay, there's also nothing wrong with that.

As for Kanye's comments, they sound good, but I'm not sure how genuine they are, or if he will actually act on them. From all accounts, he's a bit full of himself, and has talked about many issues without actually doing anything after.

And as for all the anti-rap/hip-hop comments, what hip-hop is and can be is very different from what is promoted on most TV and radio. Much "underground" hip-hop is highly experimental and very artistic. I personally listen to it almost exclusively, but I generally stay away from what's on MTV/BET/top 40 radio.
