The short of it: luthier (that’s a “guitar maker,” for you public school kids) Vik Kuletski got slammed as a homophobe because he didn’t care about Cynic’s Sean Reinert and Paul Masvidal’s sexual preferences, and said he personally disapproved of it but ultimately didn’t care. Reinert’s and Masvidal’s preferences were of the gayish kind and they recently came out about it. To my knowledge, no one asked.
Read most of the story here in the Google search results. I should note here that Cynic put out one of my favorite albums to date. Their newer stuff isn’t as appealing to me but it’s still head and shoulders above what is out there in terms of progressive metal/rock. Like Kuletski, I don’t care about what kind of person or thing into which they stick other things.
As far as I know, Kuletski hasn’t apologized, only clarified. I’m fine with that. Apologizing just makes things worse with leftoid hammerheads once they smell blood.
I should be more specific, here: Vik’s crime isn’t exactly not caring, it’s that he didn’t fall down in worship, cry rainbow tears of joy, or fart out waves of glittery happiness (but not too much—that would make things unequal) because of some dudes and their sex lives. For his non-participation in the adoration ceremony, see now the mark of Cain upon Kuletski’s brow: the blackest of black souls from the frozen-solid depths of white man priveleged-hell. Only Resocialization Camp Jesus can save him now from the doubleplusungood thoughts he dared type into a connected computer.
