It's this penny-wise, pound-foolish mentality where a rapper can treat women like shit and promote crass materialism and violence but as long as he's down with gays he won't be regarded as a social retard by the media.
For an example, let's say there are two rappers: Rapper A promotes black literacy and history and downplays material wealth and sex in his music. The thing is he's of the Southern Baptist-mold of black religion and has been known to refer to homosexuals as "fags". Rapper B is your standard chauvinist rapper who instructs women to shake their T&A for him and brags about his wealth, his race, his origin, etc. but he is also for championing homosexual acceptance and condemns homophobia in hip-hop. Assuming they are both equally popular and their stances are equally known (relatively) by people in the media, who do you think is more likely to get magazine covers for bringing "intelligence" back into the mainstream of hip-hop? Who do you think is more "enlightened" and by how much?

It probably makes you a horrible person for supposing that only gay people can die of AIDS.
