GLAAD Upset Over Tyler the Creator's VMA Win
Tyler the Creator's win at the MTV Video Music Awards is not sitting well with various gay and lesbian activist groups.
GLAAD issued a statement regarding Tyler the Creator's appearance at the MTV Music Awards, and his victory as Best New Artist.
The organization is upset over the Odd Future front man's lyrical content on his newest album Goblin.
“Rather than providing simply a larger platform, MTV and other networks should educate viewers about why anti-gay and misogynistic language has no place in the music industry today,” said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of Programs at GLAAD. “Given Tyler’s history of such remarks, viewers and potential sponsors should refrain from honoring homophobia and in the future look to a more deserving artist.”
According to reports, Tyler the Creator and Odd Future's sophomore album contains over 213 anti-gay slurs.
