Kanye West has spoken out about homosexuality during his recent Madison Square Garden show this week, where he asked his fans to be more tolerant.
"Open your f***ing minds. Open your minds." West told the crowd. "Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. You know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way?"
"Coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supposed to stay ten feet away." West added. "It took me time to break out of the mental prisons I was in. The stereotypes of the fear of the backlash that I would get if you don't believe what I believe in, accepting people for who they are."
"Open your minds and live a happier life," the rapper concluded.
