Someone isn’t too GLAAD with MTV right about now! The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, has issued a statement addressing Tyler, The Creator’s recent win for Best New Artist at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards this past weekend. The Odd Future frontman is known for having quite a few homophobic slurs in his music and they don’t think it was very responsible of MTV to reward that. Some would say it’s just music and creative expression, however. How do you feel? Read what GLAAD had to say after the jump and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
The organization claims that MTV should be more responsible in educating viewers on the homophobic slurs and misogynistic lyrics found in contemporary music.
“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 Senior Director of Programs, Herndon Graddick. “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.â€
Back in July, a number of women’s rights and LGBT organizations in Chicago, Illinois protested Odd Future’s performance at the Pitchfork Music Festival.

If the gay community can take a dick in the ass then they can handle =peoples opinions of them! Shit is ridiculous! Freedom of speech and freedom of expression!! Fuck you and your feelings! The world needs to hear both sides of the coin!! That shit is becoming an epidemic! If my child has to be forced to view and be exposed to Gay life they should also be able to hear all opinions concerning it!
