In an interview with The New York Times' Deborah Solomon, rapper Eminem says that despite past lyrics that made fun of gay people, he supports same-sex marriage.
You've been accused of writing gay-bashing lyrics in the past. Would you like to see gay marriage approved in Michigan, where you live?
I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.
Is this the new, 37-year-old tolerant you?
It's the new tolerant me!
"My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be," he said. Eminem's new album "Recovery" comes out June 21.
