• Tuve la oportunidad, de niño, de crecer en un centro comunitario donde estuve expuesto al teatro, la música, el arte y la informática; cosas que nunca habría tenido la oportunidad siquiera de conocer de no haber sido porque esas personas sacaron tiempo de sus agendas, ayudándonos de niños a viajar por todo el mundo mientras estábamos sentados en un gimnasio. Eso es lo que hice antes de ser músico, antes de ser artista de grabación, fui profesor y líder comunitario.

• I wanna feed 5,000 like Jesus, I wanna build a community center where the homeless and less fortunate can come take a shower, get a hot meal and a change of clothes. Maybe not new clothes but some clean clothes. Those are my goals, my raps and goals haven't changed. I'm about helping somebody, I use my celebrity status for the good of mankind. That's what I do, so for all the Hip-Hop people, if they just pull from me the gold, they're missing so much.

• Everywhere I go - from villages outside Kandy, Sri Lanka, to community centers in Amman, Jordan, to offices at the State Department in Washington, D.C. - I find people with a similar story.

But if you come out now and you come from poverty and you come from racism, you come from the terror of communities that are immigrant communities or communities where you're already a moving target because of who you are, this is not a place where it's any easier to be LGBT even if there's a community center in every single borough.
