  Here Are Rappers Who Adopt Being Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual

  It's no secret that there's been a longstanding stigma when it comes to homosexuality in hip-hop. Some artists have even had their rap careers tarnished by rumors that they were connected to someone of the same sex. As a new generation of hip-hop consumers emerge and artists are living in their truth when it comes to their sexuality, the culture is proving to be more open-minded than ever before.

But Dean said that his memoir was not intended as a way of outing famous people. 'I was never tempted to name any names. The publication is not about outing people.
