Kanye West
West came into hip-hop intent on changing the genre, and he has in more ways than one. In 2005, during his high-profile rise to stardom, West shared with MTV his personal journey from homophobe to LGBT ally and criticized others in the hip-hop community for being homophobic. Since then, West has continued to speak out against homophobia and has spoken candidly about his friendships with openly gay and bisexual celebs.
