Rapper Adair Lion Offers Up Awesome 'Gay is Okay' Video: WATCH
Rapper Adair Lion's first single "Ben", off a new album which pays tribute to Michael Jackson, is a beautifully-spun message about doing away with homophobia in hip-hop and Christianity, and accepting gay parents.
Well done! This video wins today!
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
I really liked it. I wonder where you can download the song from?

Was it just that no one accepted bills larger than a $20?

The 3 dollar bill imposed on the girl by her fathers finds acceptance.
I usually don't find much depth at all in most videos, this one is a bit deeper than most.
Good job, great message.

Thumbs up, way up to Towleroad and Adair Lion. Thanks Towleroad for posting something a bit different and thanks Adair for doing something out of the ordinary.
Great song, great meaning, pass it along. This had me crying at the end, I too never knew my father, he was murdered when I was 8.

I tweeted this to you on twitter this morning! I hope it was my tweet that got you to post it. :P I'll just pretend that it was.
