Jay-Z Publicly Supports Gay Marriage… [VIDEO]

Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter aka Beyonce’s boo was on CNN Monday (May 14, 2012) where he expressed his support of same-sex marriages.

Details below…The hip-hop mogul spoke candidly during an exclusive interview with CNN’s Poppy Harlow, stating:

I’ve always thought of it as something that is holding the country back.

What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business.

It’s no different than discriminating against blacks. It?s discrimination plain and simple. I think it?s the right thing to do, so whether it costs him votes or not ? again, it?s not about votes. It?s about people.

It?s the right thing to do as a human being.

I agree.

Are we really shocked that the king of hip-hop is co-signing same-sex unions?

[Sidebar: Considering all the gays it takes to turn Beyonce into Queen B, I’m not…]

What do you think of Jay’s comparison of the same-sex marriage issue to the civil rights movement?
