GAY RIGHTS ACTIVISTS CALL FOR JA RULE MEDIA BAN
Gay rights activists are urging the media to issue a ban on rap star JA RULE - after he launched a foul-mouthed tirade accusing the gay and lesbian community of 'f**king up America'.
JA RULE
Speaking in a interview with Complex magazine earlier this week (ends16Sep07), the star criticised U.S. TV networks for "promoting homosexuality" - and insisted children should not be exposed to images of gay couples.
He said, "Lets talk about all these f**king shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this sh-t.
"Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let's talk about s**t like that! If that's not f**king up America, I don't know what is."
And now the Gay + Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is encouraging media outlets to stop giving Ja Rule press coverage as a result of his remarks.
A statement posted on GLAAD's website reads, "No fair-minded person can look at Ja Rule's interview with Complex magazine and believe for one second that his children could be more harmed by what they might see on television than by the vulgarity and prejudice that comes out of their father's mouth.
"Now that media have seen Ja Rule's intolerance unmasked by his own words, they have a responsibility not to provide in the future a platform for his ugly, vulgar displays of prejudice."
