Is Kanye West Gay?

Given his outburst last night:


Kanye West Storms The VMA Stage


we have to wonder what psychological problem Kanye West has.

It has often been opined by people who study these things that denial of sexual identity can cause you some very serious mental issues: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VB8-3SWXYC8-4&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=de6103d82135b7673c6e2bf73c13af11

West is rumored to be gay and he vigorously denies it: http://www.monstersandcritics.com/people/news/article_1353802.php/Kanye_Wests_gay_fears

I am sure that Kanye is as straight as any person can possibly be, so I definitely believe him. But suppose that someone took the exact opposite position and disbelieved Kanye (who is obviously not gay -- after all, he said so).

One might say that by denying his sexual identity, West has caused himself such emotional and mental anguish that he feels that he has to make up for his self loathing through outrageous conduct. Of course, that person would be wrong, because Kanye West is not gay. But like Fox News, I am trying to be "fair and balanced" here and present both arguments so my readers can decide for themselves whether Kanye West is a self-loathing person who is really gay. (He is not. He said so).

He might just be straight and a media whore, or he might be gay and a media whore, or you are onto something.
