The homophobia of his early albums, as well as recent singles (I’m pretty sure “stay in your lane, Brokeback ain’t the way of the game” is meant as a gaybait in 2007’s “The Game”) would imply that Common is seriously bothered by alternate lifestyles. Even his pseudo-apologia “Between Me, You & Liberation” on
Electric Circus was more conflicted than regretful. But this
video of an awkward Common nodding and adding “yes, yes, y’all”‘s to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” and “Holiday” at an outdoor fair in San Francisco reveals that if he can’t get over the idea of two men having sex, it’s not because he’s a closet queen. [
