After cottoning on to the fact that there are people out there in the Year of Our Lord 2015 who would take offence to "faggot" and "queer" being used as insults via the incredibly hyper-masculine lilts of an auto-tuned microphone, Travi$ Scott (who, it's worth noting, is currently selling a topless doll version of himself as merchandise) later issued an apology over a series of tweets that only dug himself an even deeper hole, featuring such classic lines as: "I have friends that are homosexual" and "I don't want u to think of me as a spazz".

Which is basically like using "middle-aged bitch" as a put-down in the workplace and justifying it by saying "no disrespect though, I have a mom, it's chill."
Also the bitter irony is that the LGBT community historically party bigger and better than anybody.
All in all, a pretty terrible display.
