Do you like Public Enemy's music as much as you like Janet Jackson's? If the answer is 'yes' then you got some splainin to do.
Good question. I would say that Janet Jackson wearing a fur coat doesn't affect me or personally offend me. Nor does Janet have songs with lyrics like "Let's go club some seals" or anything like that.

Given how difficult it has been for gay people, I don't really enjoy listening to music that I find to be personally offensive. I mean, I got enough homophobia growing up and I still have to face it now. Music is a great way for me to escape from all that kind of crap. I don't really want it in the one place I find a respit from it. Seems... counterproductive.
