Some may be surprised to learn that a GLAAD musician who previously criticized MTV for being nominated for VMA’s Best New Artist has now created an anti-gay t-shirt. On the group’s Golf Wang Tumblr, Tyler, who creates a lot of the band’s merchandise, unveiled the shirt Thursday night and posted a message about how he came up with the idea.

The shirt is a little off-putting, with a design that modifies a well-known rainbow-colored symbol of white supremacy. In a rambling statement, Tyler describes his interest in totalitarianism, contemporary white nationalist movements, and propaganda. He also explains why he created the shirt as a rapper who is frequently assumed to be homophobic.

As a result, it's no surprise that Tyler The Creator Merch is some of the most popular items among fans of the artist

Let's focus less on being confused, and more on immediately burning people at the stake. I mean, why think about it, right?

So which garments are the anti homophobia ones? A quick browse just shows the text you copied, but not the item mentioned. I don't see anything referencing homosexuality apart from some rainbow colours on the other stuff. Is the t-shirt with GOLF in rainbow letters the item in question?

I expected something more interesting then a rainbow coloured logo.

Well, that's one weird way to advertise. How about stop spamming the Tyler thing?
