"Liking comic books is popular, environmental awareness, being tolerant. If I was just born ten years later, I would have been the coolest person ever." - Schmidt; 21 Jump Street
Society's evolving and being tolerant is cool now. The whole underground scene in particular is about differentiating yourself from others and being progressive. Anti-homophobia could almost be used as a trend now.
There's still gonna be a lot of homophobia in hip-hop in general due to the combination of a lot of it being braggadocios and male-dominated, which leads to it being hyper-masculine (and most hyper-masculine people do not associate homosexuality with hyper-masculinity), but I kind of agree with JustJunMC that a lot of it just has empty meaning.
This is the only gay rapper I know of though (he kind of sucks though):
