Guns N' Roses releases "One in a Million" (November 30th, 1988)

 

On the "GNR Lies" EP, the lyrics to the song "One in a Million" outraged many different groups, which lead to accuastions of homophobia and racism being directed towards singer and song scribe Axl Rose.

The song used the word "f---ts", and suggested that the target of his rage was spreading "some f----n' disease." It also led to the band's exclusion from an AIDS benefit for the Gay Men's Health Crisis at Radio City Music Hall. 

In response to the accusations, Rose stated he was "pro-heterosexual" and didn't "understand homosexuals," saying a man had once tried to rape him.
