This song is, all things considered, one of the more offensive songs I've ever heard. It's gotta be top 3, and right now I can't even think of a more offensive song. And I'm straight. So I can only imagine how disgusted the gay community would be hearing this. Which is just about the only thing I agree with the OP about. It's disappointing for sure, and like you said, goes above and beyond your standard pre-00s homophobia of tossing a slur in one bar in a song about something else.

Just a gross song. Gross concept. Gross that one of my favorite groups made it. Hadn't heard it before yesterday and kinda wish I never had.
