GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is apparently not happy with Tyler the Creator’s win at the MTV Video Music Awards. This group is upset because the Odd Future front man won the award for Best New Artist, even though his Goblin album contains over 213 anti-gay slurs.
“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.”
Tyler, The Creator has yet to respond.
