Where did this stupid NO HOMO thing come from?

[Godot]

Lil wayne says it as an intro in many of his songs.

I don't know where it started but I really don't like it. I think there are even several users here with "NO HOMO" in their name. When it comes to the "gay perception" I feel like we move two steps forward and one step back. It feels like we're never going to be fully accepted and "normified" in the eyes of society!

[Steve]

I really couldn't tell you dude

[ColtonCuevas]

it was made famous by Nicki Minaj I believe and now a lot of rappers say it in their songs which made everybody say it

[Alex]

i have no idea, but its so stupid. if your not a HOMO, then you must be an animal.

[Reef]

If it's stupid it must have made the lexicon via South Park, an inane and politically incorrect animated TV show.

[RicklEt]

Dont know. Its been around a while. Its just an expression when a guy says some thingthat sounds gay, and he follows up with saying "no homo" as a way of saying he isnt gay.

i dont know but i think Brad pitts smile is kind of nice

Lil Wayne's song Lollipop... at the begining he quickly sayd "no homo!", before he started singing "she said 'he so sweet, boy I wanna lick da wrapper..."

He's talking from a girl's perspective about sucking a guy off, and wanted to bash homosexuality real quick, before people thought he was gay.

Apparently a lot of sexually insecure homophobes thought it was funny, so it caught on.

yuupp i also believe it was Lil Wayne. one of my friends who particularly dislikes him says that sometimes, and i'm pretty sure he's said it's just to mock him. =/

EDIT: whaatt it was started in the 90's..?
ohh i feel all young and uninformed now. =S
