Pastor Troy Channels Internalized Homophobia for Clout

(Former) rapper Pastor Troy has crawled from under the rock that was dropped on him in 2020 to audition for a role on Love and Hip Hop. On Wednesday, the artist found himself prompted to share a homophobic rant about this past Sunday's Grammys and its pushing of the gay agenda. Now even I, with over 15 years of homosexual experiences, am not sure what the gay agenda is but Troy seems to be in the know. The artists comments were fueled by both Lil Nas X first Grammy win and his choice of fashion. The sight of the young black man celebrating his accomplishment was enough to cause Troy to rant on Instagram in a now deleted post.
While wrapped in homophobia, what's actually being showcased is his own insecurities surrounding his own sexuality. Numerous studies have been conducted over the years to support how homophobia often correlates with repressed sexuality, especially among men. His statement itself is contradicted by both former and recent Grammy winners who dress what society would deem masculine. Perhaps struggling with his own homosexuality, this rant could be a cry for help. Or, more likely, the "rapper" is simply using inflammatory commentary to bring attention to his less than memorable career. Like the adage goes, all press is good press, and even though the post has been deleted it will continue to live in internet infamy.
