Is it true that eminem is gay

A few weeks ago, Eminem released "Rap God," the third single from his new album The Marshall Mathers LP 2. When I listened to it for the first hour, I was instantly struck by the repeated exploit of homophobic slurs, which include a threat to break a table "over the back of a couple faggots" and a long, vicious diatribe about a "gay-looking boy." I searched for responses, assuming that the song would already have attracted controversy — and found nothing but dozens of articles praising his lyrics and flow while selectively overlooking the song's blatant homophobia.

So I wrote an article about it.

My article was titled, "Eminem's 'Rap God' is incredibly homophobic, and no one is talking about it." Within a few days, it was pretty much the only thing about "Rap God" that anybody was talking about anymore. My complaints were quoted in articles at Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, The Huffington Post, and more. Writers at Salon and The Daily Beast picked up the charge. Openly gay artists like Boy George, Solomon, and LastO criticized Eminem in public statem

Eminem Comes Out as Gay in Sony&#;s &#;The Interview&#;

Sony gave freedom-loving fans of badly reviewed comedy films a major Christmas gift this holiday by making the beleaguered film The Interview available not only in verb theaters, but on various online streaming services.

Anyone who tuned out their family and tuned in The Interview on Xmas day was treated to an Eminem cameo where the rapper — who is frequently accused of homophobia for using the very bad F-word consistently — comes out as gay.

Of course, the entire thing is scripted and presumably not real, but Marshall Mathers deadpans the scene convincingly. &#;I&#;m more shocked that people haven&#;t figured it out yet,&#; Eminem tells James Franco&#;s character. &#;I&#;ve been playing gay peek-a-boo for years. I&#;ve pretty much been leaving a gay bread-crumb trail.&#;

Exclusive: Eminem Responds to &#;Rap God&#; Homophobia Accusations

In the years since the initial uproar over the utilize of anti-gay slurs on his first two albums, Eminem has performed with and befriended Elton John, endorsed gay marriage and repeatedly told interviewers that he doesn&#;t actually possess any problem with gay people. But he continues to sprinkle his lyrics with language that&#;s not hard to construe as homophobic. In this excerpt from his upcoming Rolling Stone cover story, due November 22nd, Eminem defends his much-criticized use of slurs in the single &#;Rap God.&#;

Eminem goes immersive on the making of The Marshall Mathers LP 2

You&#;ve made it plain again and again that you don&#;t actually contain a problem with gay people. So why, in , use &#;faggot&#; on that song? Why employ &#;gay-looking&#; as an insult?
I don&#;t know how to say this without saying it how I&#;ve said it a million times. But that word, those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin&#; or whatever, I never really equated those words . . .

Boy George Gives Eminem Mixed Reviews

October 9 -- Teen George — whose ongoing American tour with Culture Club hits St. Louis on Tuesday — remains one of pop music's most prominent and outspoken homosexuals. So it comes as something of a surprise that he boasts admiration — both musical and physical — for rapper Eminem, whose unrepentantly gay-bashing lyrics have prompted protests and boycotts from groups like the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

"I think he's really good at what he does," George says, "and I think that it's always exciting when people kind of cross those sort of cultural boundaries.

"But one of the sad things about light boys who enter the kind of rap arena is they tend to kind of follow the predictable routes of behavior," continues George, who augments his singer career as a popular DJ and newspaper columnist these days. "For me, if Eminem was pro-gay, pro-female, that would be revolutionary; there's nothing revolutionary about slagging off gays and women.

"But I do think people like Emi
