Sia to donate profit from "homophobic" Eminem album to incre

[kkaniff]

"Queer artist Sia came under fire this
week for her collaborative track with
Eminem, "Beautiful Pain," which is
featured on the controversial rapper's
latest album, "The Marshall Mathers
LP 2."
In response, the singer-songwriter
has announced that she will donate
the proceeds she receives from her
work on the track to benefit homeless
LGBT youth at the Los Angeles Gay &
Lesbian Center."
......
From the one and only HuffPostGay.
Long live LGBT rights.

It's her choice with this I really don't care what she does with her profits, think it's stupid that she feels she has to prove herself to people though lol.

[jinofthewind]

It's nice that she's giving money to homeless LGBT youth because that's a fantastic cause that desperately needs more support. If I ever become wealthy, I'm donating a big chunk of money to that cause. At the same time, however, Sia looks pathetic for letting other people boss her around and tell her what she can and can't do.

Sums up my thoughts exactly

[kkaniff]

She's acting like she performed for some 3rd world dictator accused of horrible human rights violations.

"Queer artist"

[HeySamantha]

lol they call out Eminem for being homophobic and then throw around the word "queer". OKAY.

[skc_]

nice, thx to em's "anti gay" lyrics, now some money is donated for a good purpose

Will this bitch ever shut the fuck up? Eminem made her relevant. She better donate half of her future record sales to him.

LOL. How ironic.

[HeySamantha]

Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the use of the word "queer" as a positive lately. It seems as thought the LGBT community wants to reclaim the word, but the word is so widely used as a slur at this point that it's always going to be a negative term. I'm sure they have good intentions here, but I don't understand the thought process on this one. To me, it makes about as much sense as enthusiastically referring to yourself as a "faggot activist." It just sounds wrong.

lol exactly.

This will undoubtedly cause gay people to buy that song just so it goes to charity, giving Eminem tons of money and buzz.

[eminembound]

Well, it's her choice. Didn't know she's a lesbian.

[Ottawa613]

fuck sia man shes so ugly and its annoying how people dont realize that faggot isnt even that bad of a word.

[Ottawa613]

Her appearance is completely irrelevant to this issue. I don't even know what she looks like. I've never seen her.

man...appearance is everything. she's just really underwhelming. she's like 35 at least and man just really unattractive.

She's acting like she performed for some 3rd world dictator accused of horrible human rights violations.

I never hear the word Queer used any more by actual gay people....doesn't the meaning of the word mean out of the ordinary or weird?

I've been defending Sia but she's being ridiculous. Donating to that charity is great but her reasoning seems some sort of misplaced guilt for collaborating with a controversial artist. She made up for collabing with Flo Rida with that track and now she's ashamed of it.....
