Was Tupac Shakur gay?

A legendary rapper left a puzzling trail

A video of a 17-year-old being interviewed in 1988 has been viral on social media the last few days. As it gets millions of views, many seem shocked.

They say things like, “My childhood has just been upended.”

It was not widely known, apparently, that the 1990s-era rap singer Tupac Shakur, known for a “thuggish” image, can read as very “gay.”
