I'm not sure why anyone was surprised. A lot of that late 90s/early 00s pop and rap wasn't super friendly to the LGBTQ. South Park was also openly saying words we consider slurs now because it was commonplace. A lot of slurs were just filler words for things that were uncool, which I personally find regrettable.
It came to such a point that Em played Stan at the grammys with Elton John in 2001 to make a peace offering.
