Apparently TaraElla doesn't hate hip hop anymore.
She recently had this to say:
"I guess hip hop may not be anti-liberal - it just needed time to evolve
to become liberal, and it's path is slower than pop. After all, we are
now seeing Jay Z, one of the biggest hip-hop stars, supporting marriage
equality. "What people do in their own homes is their business and you
can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. [It] is no
different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination plain
and simple," he recently said.
I know for a fact that country
music is also slower in its liberalization, and I have been
understanding and supportive of their path whilst some friends have not.
Just this year we were vindicated when Carrie Underwood supported
marriage equality. I guess I should extend the same understanding to
hip-hop."

TaraElla Envisions a New 'Family Friendly'
TaraElla has put out her thoughts on what should constitute the new 'family friendly'. Here's what she suggested.
New things that should qualify a show as being family friendly:
1) Featuring ethnic diversity
2) Featuring gay and lesbian characters or themes (unless sexual)
3) Promoting messages of peace and optimism in its achievement
4) Promoting multicultural harmony in society
This list is based on what I would want my (hypothetical) children exposed more to.
New things that should disqualify a show as being family friendly:
1) Featuring negative stereotypes about ethnic groups or the LGBT community
2) Implicit or explicit racist or homophobic opinion
This list is based on what I would NOT want my (hypothetical) children exposed to at all before they reach adulthood.
You agree?
