Queens of the Stone Age singer Josh Homme answers critics

Rocker Josh Homme has hit back at claims he is a homophobe, after he called a concert-goer who threw a shoe at him onstage a "faggot." The Queens of the Stone Age rocker reacted with fury when he was hit during a gig in Norway last week, and unleashed a torrent of abuse at the culprit - calling him a "chicken $#@% $%@#ing faggot" and "a miserable $#@%ing %$#@."

After he was criticized for using the term, Homme posted an open letter online, defending himself.

It reads, "My gay family and friends, as well as myself, know I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong."
