On Eminem’s Use of Gay SlursBoy George

I'm saying that the use of the word 'f-ggot' is not enlightening. You can't argue it means something else, just like the n-word or any other racist phrase.

My feeling is at the moment with what's going on in Russia, where people are being killed, killed, any word that legitimizes that is bad. And I don’t care if it's Eminem or anyone else. And him saying, 'It's ironic,' well, it's not if you're getting your head kicked in. So I do feel quite strongly about it but it's not against him. It's against anybody who uses that word.
