“Rapper Kanye West, whose growing presence in the fashion world has drawn a mixed reaction, says he faces discrimination for being straight.
West last month suddenly announced a show of his military-inspired Yeezy line during New York Fashion Week, angering some more established designers.
“I felt that I got discriminated against in fashion also for not being gay, whereas in music you definitely get discriminated against if you are gay,” West, who manages to stay persistently in the spotlight, told the fashion website Showstudio.com.
West stressed his support for LGBT rights. His wife, reality television star Kim Kardashian, is the stepdaughter of Caitlyn Jenner, who has brought widespread awareness to transgender issues by transitioning to be a woman.”
