T.I. In Hot Water Over Comments About Gays In VIBE Magazine

T.I. thinks gays need to get over themselves…at least the ones who try and muzzle people from telling harmless jokes.

Reports TMZ:

T.I. was discussing gay rights with Vibe magazine — an issue he says he supports — and then mentioned Tracy Morgan’s controversial comments earlier this year:

“Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a d**k, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That s**t was funny to me. And it’s kind of true.”

Then T.I. unloaded … talking about oversensitivity in the gay community, which he believes betrays the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of speech.

“They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ … That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.”

And now…TI explains his comments to Harvey and the TMZ gang.

    I don’t know people. Let one misconstrued “nigga” joke hit YouTube and black folks get just as bad.

    I’m with TI, why do we label people as hateful just because they don’t approve of their lifestyle. Heres a newsflash, not everyone is ok with it. So why do i have to suddenly withhold my opinion just because they get offended by it.
