Overview
Boy George has spoken out in support of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' LGBT-celebrating hit 'Same Love', saying he doesn't think the record would have had the same impact if a gay rapper had made the track.
The track has faced some criticism from members of the gay community (rapper Le1f famously lambasted it, quipping "gay people don't care about your video about gay people") but Boy George believes a straight rapper recording the track was an advantage.
"If it had been a gay rapper that had done Same Love I think it probably wouldn’t have had the same impact," he told News LTD. "It’s a weird thing about our culture. I think 'Same Love' is a great record, I don’t care if he’s straight or gay, it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter, but unfortunately it does.
