It is offensive to be coy if making one forthright statement would increase tolerance by an ounce.

"Coyness" is a noun that's effective after the fact -- when the celebrity comes out and explains why they weren't out to the public for years (e.g. Neil Tennant, Ricky Martin).

the "join my militia" video is quite something. "wavvy" is still a better song though

Spoke to Mykki for five minutes before her show tonight (a few folks I know were involved in setting it up and I showed up a bit early).
Cosmic Angel (the mixtape) is supposed to drop in October with production from Brenmar, Teengirl Fantasy and Physical Therapy, and some other folks I forget. She's recording in LA and SF in the next week or two to finish things up before her European tour.

rev & i talked this out a bit behind the scenes but im not sure i see what the pitchfork article did that this article isn't also doing? http://www.alternet.org/comments/medias-problem-gay-rappers
i mean, i think obv there needs to be a balance between defining rappers who are gay as a gay rapper movement & simply ignoring the phenomenon that there are now out gay rappers, (which is to say, there is SOMEthing happening, right?) but I fail to see what the pitchfork article did that made it any worse than what this article is doing.
