QBoy

QBoy is an odd boy out in the pop-oriented British gay community. The reason is obvious. He is one of the very few gay rap artists that is loud, out and proud of his sexuality.

QBoy riffs to The Malcontent about homophobia in hip-hop, the growing hip-hop scene in the queer community and stereotypical gay music.

"At the end of the day, if we keep calling hip-hop homophobic, casting a blanket over everyone involved in hip-hop, it will lead to problems with those very people who are in hip-hop and are presently open-minded about homosexuality," says QBoy in the interview. "We should be making allies with them, getting them on our side, not tarring them with same brush." He all sums it up perfectly when he says, "Masculinity is about being a man, not a straight man."

As much as I love all the standard gay music, my tastes are quite eclectic... I love my rock!!!! Its great to see a gay boy promoting a different music genre to all the fags out there.... even better to tackle a genre that the media promotes as black, gangsta music only.

Make sure you read the interview... and here's a video
