The majority of those donations came from black celebs, the groundwork came from black folks.. The fukk these nikkahs talking about? Mofos is so content on being Pookie on the negotation table
I guess everyone thinks that the gays pressed Obama and he "evolved" on gay marriage and he was able to by the force of his personality to get it through a republican controlled congress who blocked damn near everything else he tried to do.
Heavy D was a shea butter adjecent rapper before shea butterism existed. When NWA and everyone else was calling women "bytches and Hoes" He made the song
Black Coffee. He also made a rhyme about being happier than a fakkit in jail. He used the F-bomb that autocorrects here.
Several years later Eminem made a line about gays and was cancelled before that was a thing. If you're a millenial you might not know how big Eminem was at the time. Homie had the respect of the hood and corporate america. When he came out with his second album MTV did around the clock promo for him they called it EM TV. Elton John co signed him after he apologized and he was accepted back.
He never made a antigay line again. Not just him nobody did. Right before then it was common to throw out a F-bomb or two after that you couldn't.
Shabba Ranks was the biggest Reggae Dancehall artist and on a british show they asked him what he thought about the anti gay song
Boom Bye Bye He supported Buju and said he was right. He was canceled. Not only that but there was a
Stop Murder Music campaign. Flash forward to today and
No Jamaican Musican says anything about gay people
There was a show called
Will and Grace about a gay man and his straight best friend They had the first gay kiss on the show.
My point is to get the "tangible" or gay marriage passed it took
years to change the culture so their wouldn't be any real political backlash when they finally pressed the issue. They campaigned to the people first. Then they used
Money (because they didn't have the votes) to get the laws changed.
I guess people think that MLK did his
I have a Dream speech and white people immediately passed the civil rights bill. MLK started leading the movement
in 1954!!
The civil rights bill was passed in
1965.
If you want to pass something that's unpopular you have to change the culture first then use pressure on Politicans after.
