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.
To be honest it sounds like you've decided Public Enemy is offensive without actually listening to them.
