Ideological homosexuality

In the heavy metal music scene, the sub genre of black metal, to be exact, there is a fairly common thread that is found.  Oddly enough, in this dark, violent, ugly, male dominated scene, the practice of homosexuality is common.
From one perspective, this makes absolutely no sense, considering the stereotypical image society has of rock stars.  But when one understands the philosophy behind black metal, this deviation makes sense. 
The genre of black metal is intellectually, philosophically and deliberately founded upon Satanism. This is not the kind of Satanism like one sees in the movies.  Aside from a very small (and i mean very small) group of actual devil worshippers, the kind of Satanism promoted by black metal even denies the very existence of God, Satan, or anything beyond the physical.   For the Satanist, this life is all there is, the grave is the end.  They believe that there is no absolute right or wrong and that one should do whatever one wants. One thing that is common with the Satanist is the lifestyle of antithesis toward Christianity.  They see organized religion as slavery and inhibition, as contrary to normal life.
Thus the commonality of homosexuality.  It is contrary to the Christian faith and completely self serving. The Satanist acknowledges this and deliberately pursues that which is contrary to organized religion and morality.
What is the point of all this explanation?  What can we learn from this?  We can learn to be committed to our faith.  If the Satanist can practice homosexuality based on its meaning, rather than on its passion, how much more so should we as children of God live according to life and truth, rather than by our passions?
