Rock ‘n’ Roil: Debates on Who’s No. 1, Racism, Sexism and Criticism

Regarding Axl Rose’s racial and anti-gay epithets: I find his homophobia remarkable for a man who has borrowed so much attire from gay subculture--leather chaps, biker cap, etc. Maybe this is one reason he has had “very bad experiences with homosexuals”: They mistake him for one.
