GLAAD Upset Over Tyler’s VMA Win
Aug 31
Not everyone is happy with Tyler’s Video Music Award victory. GLAAD issued the statement below in regards to the rapper’s 213 anti-gay slurs on his album, Goblin. That is so gay. Oops.
“Rather than providing simply a larger platform, MTV and other networks should educate viewers about why anti-gay and misogynistic language has no place in the music industry today,” said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of Programs at GLAAD. “Given Tyler’s history of such remarks, viewers and potential sponsors should refrain from honoring homophobia and in the future look to a more deserving artist.”
