Jay-Z Supports Obama and Compares Homophobia To Discrimination Against Blacks

Jay-Z comes out in support of President Obama over his recent decision to announce his support for gay marriage. Jay-Z’s support will surely sway some of the young black votes that the President may have lost because of his announcement.

According to Jigga

I’ve always thought it as something that’s still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business. You choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business. It’s no different than discriminating against Blacks. It’s discrimination, plain and simple.

I think it’s the right thing to do, whether it costs him votes or not. It’s really not about votes, it’s about people. So whether it costs him or not, I think it’s the right thing to do as a human being.
