New R&B singer, Miguel…
I personally do not care about Miguel’s sexuality, all I know is that he created one of the greatest albums that I have ever heard… Even though this subject is not that serious to me it was pretty serious to Miguel.
When doing a promo interview in Atlanta, GA. with Kenny Burns, the question was addressed and here was Miguel’s answer:
At this point, what I will say is that we really do have the tools at our disposal to broaden our horizons. What I mean by that is that, it’s no longer hard to travel to Japan. A hundred years ago, someone being well traveled would mean that they would have to be affluent, high society in some way shape or form. Either a part of the government or a part of old money where as now it’s easier for us. If you can’t travel physically you can do it via the internet and this allows us to broaden our horizons culturally.
At this point, I’ve embraced a lot of worldly cultural and I made it a part of who I am. People who are here who have not done that may look at my choices artistically, how I express myself visually and ecstatically as questionable, especially to my sexuality. Whereas, people who have traveled or who have done the same, it’s not questionable at all [to them].
I think it’s really a question as to whether or not you’re ignorant to what else is out there or not. I don’t say that in anyway to offend anyone, I’m just saying if you don’t understand you got to catch up. We’re flying. For anyone that questions my sexuality, the honest truth is “I love women. I’ve always only loved women. That’s it.” And women kind of like me too, so it kind of works.
He was on some futuristic sh*t that I couldn’t even understand… But hey you make your own judgment… And Miguel; keep making them bomb a** hits!!!
