前The Fugees團員嘻哈傳奇Lauryn Hill 日前釋出新歌Neurotic Society 歌詞當中把Girl Men、Drag Queens拿來跟連續罪犯作類比引起同志同體相當大的反彈前一陣子她還為密蘇里州的種族衝突寫了一首歌我以為身為黑人的她應該會更懂得一個種族被歧視的痛苦但我真沒想到她卻是將這樣的歧視加諸在其他人的身上 Lauryn Hill - Neurotic Society http://youtu.be/jBBxFKCAaCo

http://ppt.cc/pKF5 Lauryn Hill Defends New Anti-Gay Lyrics, Compares “Girl Men” And Drag Queens To “Serial Criminals” Lauryn Hill may be headed to jail for tax evasion and facing eviction from her New Jersey mansion, but the multi Grammy Award-winning artist has found herself in an even more despicable place: the big gay doghouse. Hill took to Tumblr this week to defend some offensive anti-gay lyrics in her newest track, “Neurotic Society“. In it, the singer lists reasons why she believes society is crumbling around her, comparing “social transvestism,” “drag queens,” and “girl men” to “pimps”, “pushers,” and “serial criminals.” “Neurotic Society is a song about people not being, or not being able to be, who and what they truly are, due to the current social construct,”Hill writes. Sounds good so far, right? She continues: “The world we live in now is, in many ways, an abhorrent distortion, an accumulation of generations and generations of response to negative stimuli. Many don’t even have a concept of what normal is, by virtue of having lived afraid, ashamed, as victims of abuse, or inadequately handled for so long. I believe in coming up from under that fear and allowing the psyche/soul to truly heal. I understand that healing is a process, but I also believe that it is our responsibility to seriously care for ourselves, so that we can extend that level of concern for others and positively affect our environment.” It’s strange that, without the rampant homophobia, this song could have actually been empowering and used to promote a different message entirely. “Everyone has a right to their own beliefs,” she continues. “Although I do not necessarily agree with what everyone says or does, I do believe in everyone’s right to protest.” Right. You have fun protesting from a jail cell, honey! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 59.115.156.160 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/WesternMusic/M.1411763725.A.5E6.html
