Eminem comes out in support of gay marriage


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.
