Lion Adair: Gay Is Okay (Ben)


This is currently being touted as "the world's first pro-gay Rap song" - which it isn't.
But it's still rare enough to be noteworthy.
I thought it would be quite awful - that trite title hardly gets your hopes up, does it? - but it's actually quite good.
Samples Michael Jackson's Ben, one of the first male-to-male love songs to chart; though the male was Michael's pet rat.
You could nitpick over some of the 'Born This Way'-esque glib arguments in the lyrics, but I won't here.
I thought the ending of the video and the last lyrics were really moving.
