Certainly never mattered any to me. If an artist is really so concerned with the thought that their fans might think they're a homosexual just because they've covered a song and haven't changed the gender pronouns to suit a heteronormative point of view, maybe they ought to be a little more focused on the music.

Here's a classic example of a cover in which the lyrics were not changed, and it still turned out great.

edit: tried to post a video, just got a white box, wtf

Joan Jett's cover of "Crimson and Clover" is lovely as can be.
