Homophobic – er, ex-homophobic – rapper says gay marriage is OK

Eminem has come out in favour of gay marriage? Really? Is this the guy who rapped in the, er, rap called “Criminal”, “Hate fags? The answer’s ‘yes’”?

Oh well, we must be thankful, I suppose. Some people change, and that’s to be applauded.

For the record, he’s quoted as saying, “I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.”

So in favour of gay marriage, but not too hot on marriage per se.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
