hello erykah,

i recently read an article interviewing kanye west on his take on homosexuality. apparently a cousin of his "came out" to him and he said that it changed his outlook on the issue entirely. he is calling on the hip-hop community to knock off their deregotary views and feelings on the issue and to look at the issues at hand more critically and show more empathy and kindness and support on the issue.

do you have a stance on the issue? i have been to a couple of your shows and have really been inspired about some of the things you have said about race and inequality, freeing yourself and society, etc.. but have never heard you mention this issue at all when it comes to freedom and equality.

peace and light..

Grandie

p.s. love your work
