    If it takes a shock thread to promote good music, then I'm all for it…

    Murs however, has a wife.

    *EDIT* Yes, I watched the video. Yes Murs kissed another man. Yes, he still has a wife (as far as I'm aware). Yes, he was acting (as he stated, see below post for interview quote).

    It's dope that Murs spoke out from a straight perspective about an issue that some people still have with the gay community. I think it's a nicely penned track; story-telling at its best.

    I watched the video, it was dope.

    Murs has already spoken out about it though:
    MURS wrote:
    "I don't know, man. On this record, I'm trying to bring the Hip Hop community up with me. I'm concerned about how the world feels about the homosexual community. Obviously, I'm concerned about Hip Hop - we've got to start [making changes], but I want that song to touch people outside of the community. I made "Dark Skinned White Girls," and a lot of people [responded thankfully with the recognition]. There's a lot of gay people who probably feel out of place or feel like no one cares, and I think it's good when it comes from someone [who is different]. "Okay. He's not just saying that 'cause he's gay too. This is a straight person sayin' it 'cause he's tryin' to understand me" - even if I didn't get it right. I don't know how the gay community is gonna react. I'm more worried about that, to tell you the truth, than how the Hip Hop community is gonna react. If I can make straight people be kinder to gay people, I guess that's a bi-product [of my intentions in writing the song]. (Hip Hop DX)

    In other words, he was acting and is speaking about the issue at hand from the perspective of a straight person. He says he's anxious at how the gay community will react to it. But I think he's done it right. Dope metaphor at the end.

    I think the video is well directed and the relationship shown between the two people is believable. It's a nice challenge to the community as a whole and I think that as a story telling track, it's better than most.

    smh....with all the shit wrong with the community, why do niggas feel it so important to "speak out" and " deliver a message" with this gay shit.?Fuckin fagots are pushy as hell with this agenda. Fuck who ever try to insinuate something wrong wit me for not "embracing" and "accepting" doo-doo chasing cock jockeys. That being said, I never like Murs any fucking way. One of them rappity rap niggas with minimal soul to superficially "deep" content.

    LOL at cock jockeys

    You know what, that was a pretty good song, Imma keep it 100. No I didn't agree with the kiss but he was acting out a character. One thing I like about Murs music is that he always tells a story. This was brave and all but I think the video (seeing that its an issue that does happen in real life) also points out that homosexuality is definitely a mental sickness as it was originally in the DSM before 1972. I listened to this podcast on what led to them taking Homosexuality out of the DSM in 1973.

    edit: this is the transcript to the podcast above http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/204/transcript

    Now we look at today of which it is a full blown lifestyle and now they are forcing it onto straight heterosexuals like they want it to be a standard. I'll say this, if you're gay, do you. But don't ever force it on other people, its disrespectful. If you turning gay (and this goes both male and female) just to fit in or join into a trend, fail! I'm not against gay rights, but know your history. Its not really civil rights, because unless you've told someone, people wouldn't even know you are gay, like how Murs character on the video was a closet homosexual. If you go through a life-changing event in your life that results in your decision, its understandable too. But all and all, IMO its not normal or natural, and its really a sexual identity disorder that should be talked about to your psychiatrist.

    Lol @ thinking you're being asked to accept someone else's sexuality.

    If someone's convinced that there's nothing wrong with them, what would they need approval for?

    It was a nice story but that don't make the dude gay. Plenty of actors kiss that don't don't make anyone gay. If he was gay and kissed a girl would he be straight again? How is gay an illness? How do you cure it? I don't care what you do I just don't like seeing the flamboyant ones
