The Sisters Mix of "Homophobia" received a music video in 1994, featuring a choir of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence members. This version of the song is sonically different from the album version, having an upbeat synthesized backing and altered lyrics. The physical release of the single featured four B-sides, including "Enough Is Enough," "Morality Play in Three Acts," "The Day the Nazi Died," and "Song for Derek Jarman". The latter is a heavily reworked version of "Rage," a song taken from Chumbawamba's Anarchy album.
