Straight, White and Clueless
March 31, 2007
So what’s up with the reporter in this clip from CNN featuring openly gay rapper Deadlee? I know that I should be focusing on Deadlee and what he is saying, but I can’t help but wonder why the interviewer is so nervous. Is it because Deadlee is bringing the gayness in a way that’s different from the guys in Dupont Circle, Boystown and Chelsea? Is it because Deadlee is Latino? Is it because he’s turned on? Is it because he can’t deal with the gays?
You decide.
