#Pistons Legend #IsiahThomas Son COMES out as GAY! [details]

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 03:07 PM PST



NBA living legend Isiah Thomas' son Zeke just surprised many by COMING OUT!  And he was once TOLD he could not be a successful DJ and be GAY!? Go figure!


Thomas made the surprising admission in a new interview with Out, explaining that he came out to his parents years ago.

"I came out in 2008, my sophomore year at college. My parents like to say they always knew I was gay. I came out to them and they were very accepting. I always knew they would be accepting. Growing up, I had gay uncles, like every kid in America. I never was so scared that my parents were going to shun or disown me—the horror stories you hear. I was just nervous about, "Are my friends gonna accept me because I was a jock kid, so to speak, with an athlete father?"

Thomas claims that, despite media's stories about homophobia in sports, the NBA, or at least its players, are quite gay-friendly.



"When Jason Collins came out, my father said to me, 'This isn't something uncommon.' He played with gay players. He said, 'Even in high school, I knew there were gay athletes." It's not as big an issue as the media like to make it out: "You're gonna be shamed in the locker room!"

He also claims that, as the times change, it's becoming easier for people to redefine masculinity and accept gays into the world of sports.

"I did theater and was in the art scene [in school], but there is a masculine connotation that comes with being an athlete's kid. Still, I feel like those barriers of masculinity are constantly being broken down and redefined. People like to put labels on everything, and I feel stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason—most of them aren't true. Even though I'm black and like chicken."

Now as an adult, Thomas has transitioned from being a "jock kid" to being a successful DJ, playing in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, and his hometown of Detroit. However, Thomas claims that he has experienced homophobia in the world of entertainment.

"Definitely, and even racism. I had a manager who told me I could never be a big DJ and be openly gay. I thought, 'That makes no sense. You can't hide who you are.' Obviously I no longer work with him," he said.

Zeke is happy and his family accepts him and loves him as they always did so that's the TAKE HOME message here!

#TIP Pays his respects at fallen rapper Doe B's Funeral! [video]

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 02:41 PM PST



On Saturday, slain rapper Doe B. was laid to rest in his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama.  A slew of friends, family and fans turned out for the back to back memorial services.  Doe B's 'boss' and friend, Grand Hustle's T.I. was on hand to pay his respect and to speak on behalf of the fallen rapper.


T.I., who signed Doe B to Grand Hustle Records in 2012, recalled a mature and composed young man.

"I admired Doe because as a young man at the age that he always presented himself to be more mature," said Tip. "It's very rare that you can find somebody at the age of 20-21 and sit them down in front of somebody that they aspire to be like and they are composed and poised and postured."
