As soon as I saw the thread title I thought of Buju Banton. Yeah, he is a notorious homophobe.

Not sure if you know Leftover Crack, but part of the reason they left Hellcat Records was that they said Tim Armstrong supported homophobia. Fueled by his attempts to sing Buju to the label, and also some lyrics by the band US Bombs.

I do not know much about Buju, but from what I have read he is a pretty big homophobe. I think he and HR from Bad Brains could probably be buddy buddy in that regard.
