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.

This all makes sense of course. Certain words do bring up negative feelings in some people and I can understand why.
Still, you didn't answer the main question which is: do you even like Public Enemy's music? If you do then this conversation is totally different than one in which you don't even really care for the sounds of Public Enemy's music.
