Kanye West To Rally With Radical Anti-LGBTQ Evangelicals

What makes you think lifelong Republican Trump voters are upset by any of this?
Don't even try to compare Kanye to Quincy Jones. Just don't.
It's a shame I can't cancel him any harder then I already did. Fuck me what a disappointment he turned out to be.

Hmm. Seems like you're imposing your moralistic views on Kanye.
Isn't that against the rules nowadays, in a post-absolute truth society. He's a bad person because...he doesn't match your idea of a good person.
But who are you to say he's bad? He legit might think he's living his best life.
Beautiful wife. Big money. Raising kids. Isn't that what most people want?
For someone that people claim is a "genius" and says all this "Deep" nonsense... wouldn't he spend 5 seconds to review who he's associating with?
He associates with Trump. So there's no reason to think he doesn't know what these people stand for.
Oh yeah, I figured that, just wanted to ask that question of the defenders here.
I think you've just got some of his fans that don't want to accept that the "George Bush doesn't care about black people" guy has turned into this. But at this point there's no reason to believe that this isn't who he is. He's fully leaning into it.
This man finally realized who the biggest marks were

Sorry fam, I can't get down with the "kanye is a lovable idiot victim who doesn't know who he's associating with" angle. Sure he does, he is not an idiot and ignorance would not be an excuse at this point even if he wasn't aware of who he was working with. There are no shortage of people trying to tell him better, help him, advise him. Or, they tried to. Ultimately, he does what he wants and this is the truth he's chosen to embrace. Hate to see it, but here we are.
It's okay; we don't have to stanning for Kanye anymore. If anything will save him, it's full-on shunning. Anything less will mean he has room to continue to feel like he's in the right.
yikes. he has made it so difficult for me to love and enjoy his (almost always brilliant) music and has taken that to a certain extent away from me, where his catalogue has given me so much happiness and inspiration over the years and now to a certain extent it feels like he's spitting on it and making it increasingly difficult to enjoy.
he has been one of the most nuanced interesting inspiring explosions of creative talent for many years and it's sad to see him dragged into this really dangerous and sad orbit.
it reminds me of Prince, another one of my favorite artists, who spent so much time exploring and advocating liberation in regards to sexuality only to become really regressive and at times extremely reactionary about it later on in life after he became a jehovah's witness. ugh

I mean with this logic pretty much the worst that humanity has even seen were good people because they could be happy in their own way and because they thought what they were doing was actually what was in the best interest of their own best lives.
Might want to rethink this a bit. This kind of logic is how atrocities happen.
It was a challenge, but I managed to incorporate how people generally think when we discuss controversial famous people.
Do I personally believe those previous statements? Nope. But there is value in mirroring our modern day "outrage" culture.
You can really see the inconsistencies in our daily criticism towards the actions, of powerful/influential people.
Pretty sure Kanye was able to get the wife, money, and kids without resorting to kissing the orange-skinned devil's ass and associating with the biggest pieces of trash in the world.
Why he decided to do this speaks to his true character, and it's depressing as fuck to see.
What an odd take.
Yes, if Kanye is rallying with radical evangelical extremists who have ethically reprehensible views of other human beings and want to see them harmed for who they are, then they're bad people to me. Maybe you want to live in a post-truth society, I don't. I'm not afraid to take my ethical compass, form an opinion based on it, and share that opinion.
This is an important point I missed, and you're completely right. Inside of that willful ignorance is a decision to be ignorant of people trying to better him. I don't know whether that is just because he's more rigid in his ways now once he got latched to this whole reborn identity slash bullshit Candace Owens got in his head that played right to his ego, but regardless, that's a decision he made and he has decided to cozy up with the oppressors. And that is his reputation.
I flirt between whether it is best to completely ignore or continually call out/shame/cancel people like Kanye, perhaps some mix of both, but what is for certain is that he cannot get any more oxygen for his backwards politics. And hey, if suffocating Milo online worked to some degree, it could work for Kanye.

Umm. I have family actively inolved at this event as members of the volunteer prayer team. You guys are being a little ridiculous.

Did you miss the words and actions of the radically anti-LGBTQ activists involved with the event from the OP?
Such as: In 2010, Lou Engle celebrated Uganda's push for the death penalty for homosexuality while in Uganda after telling the US press that he wouldn't do so.
I hope they are praying for Kanye and everyone else to wake up and realize how far removed our president is from any form of true faith.
This is rough right here.
I think it's about time we stop giving Kanye a platform. He has his people and following and it's not Era.
Kris gonna find out how to get Kim to marry Megan Thee Stallion afterwards
How many people here appalled in this thread were praising that trash JIK when it dropped I wonder?
Fuck maga west he's been shit ever since he went maga and if you are just now throwing him under the bus because of this well

First, there's no reason to believe Herzog whatsoever.
Also, the event came and went today and nothing of interest happened, apparently.
He's an organizer of a hate group and Awaken 2020 was a hate rally.
Second, even if we're to believe Herzog, other speakers included professional hate mongers Cindy Jacobs and Guillermo Maldonado, who wrote in his book Spiritual Deliverance that homosexuality could be "a generational curse, or even a demonic attack while in the womb."
There was nothing ok or uneventful about this hate rally unless you think it's fine for folks to gather and attack LGBTQ people simply for existing.
Shame he keeps moving backwards :') dude could have been a great celeb with his music and merch if his attitude wasn't such trash
