Eminem, the rapper long associated with gay-bashing rhymes, expressed his support for marriage equality on the eve of the release of his new album, Recovery.
Born Marshall Mathers, Eminem spoke with Deborah Solomon, the Q&A columnist for The New York Times Magazine, and said that his view reflects "the new tolerant me."
