Does HR still want to "shoot faggots"?
I've never been a Bad Brains fan, honestly.

Bad Brains have been super homophobic for years, ever since they went rasta. They're to homophobia what s'driver is to racism.

I dunno, it's pretty common knowledge. I think one of them is now saying, "oh, I'm not homophobic like when I was young," but H.R. is still super fucked up about it.
They had a whole feud going with MDC over it.

well, they're not someone that i spend any amount of time listening to, nor does anyone i hang around with... so i guess it just fell through the cracks for me. go figure. i've got no time for that kind of intolerence, so i repeat, fuck 'em.

I think, for them, it's mostly a fucked up rasta thing. Rastafarianism is very anti-gay.

Homophobic? It doesnt count cuz H.R. is out of his mind. Plus he used to suck dick for crack so I guess he hates himself. say what you will about peoples personal beliefs, ive never heard them dedicate a set to hating faggots. If they have a problem with homos they sure keep quiet about it.

In Flipside Fanzine, HR said: San Francisco had "...too many faggots" and "...most of them act so crazy even out in public, it disturbs me, makes me want to go and shoot one of them."
They told Randy Turner, gay lead singer from the Big Boys, to "burn in hell, bloodclot faggot".
In Forced Exposure zine, HR said, "we went out to California and we saw all the faggots and we went to Texas and seen all the punk rock bands. Out there the in thing was being gay and all the hardcore bands were gay. That was the last straw, I couldn't take no more. I had to say somebody got to go out there and show the youth the truth, man."
And there's their song "Don't Blow Bubbles", about AIDS being a "cure" for being gay. They said: "We wrote that song as kind of an angry warning to homosexuals. We didn't really mean to insult them, but a lot of people we knew seemed to be living with their eyes closed."
Dude, they're not hiding it and they never have.
