Fly Young Red

An openly gay rapper that goes by the name of Fly Young Red. Has caused quiet a buzz in social media and other ways of communication. With his single called Throw that boy pu**y. That has the gay community, more so, the black gay community praising him, but is it really something to be praised for? It is a step forward-then-back. Forward because we are getting noticed by main stream media and people are starting to give us recognition, but back because is this really the way we want people to see black gay guys or men? Just as in the straight community blacks are viewed as ratchet and not polite.Why? The way some of them represent themselves on various communication outlets. Fly Young Red is indeed taking leaps, but he has to remember who and what he is representing. Let's just talk about the music itself, the lines have been used over and over again by "straight rappers", the video seem unauthentic,  he plays into the persona of straight acting/looking gay guy, and also depicts black men twerking (badly), but despite that look forward to the future of this young rapper that has been signed to Young Money Records a source says, by "gay activist" Lil Wayne!
One of the issues many people had with it is he referred to the male butt as boy pu**y just to solve this, pu**y is not the actually word, it's a term that we use for cats then, that word, transfered into using it to described that part of the women's body. I understand where this argument is coming from, but how is it at all valid?
