Kanye West: The Fashion Industry Discriminated Against Me for Not Being Gay

Andy Towle October 7, 2015 Leave a Comment

Kanye West

During a two-hour interview on a wide variety of topics, Kanye West told SHOWstudio that he has been discriminated against in the fashion industry because he is not gay:

“I feel like I got discriminated in fashion for not being gay. In music, you definitely get discriminated in music if you are gay. It takes amazing talents to break down barriers. Everyone thought that when Frank Ocean dropped that it was going to be bad for his career. I feel like it’s so cliché to speak about him as it relates to this subject, but there are people who broke the ground and he broke the ground. The people that break the stereotypes make history.”
