That kind of close minded thinking is analogous to that of your rock/punk/metal listener who wont listen to or associate with rappers because they represent the ills of society. Drugs, bitches, money, gangs, etc.

If hip hop cant accept a guy because he's different in his sexual preference then hip hop is being hypocritical in trying to advocate "freedom" of expression and right to aesthetic pursuit without having people point fingers in bigotry. We might as well kneel, look up and shout "Sieg Heil" if we make leeway for cultural double standards.
