" I appreciate the incredible talent, inspite of his indiscretions. Does this make me a bad person?"
The reality is: artists are human and humans are flawed (some to a greater degree than others).
Each listener must make up their own mind.
Personally, I've never found J.L.L's music particularly appealing, so there's no dilemma, in this case.
Clapton has espoused views with which I strongly disagree but I haven't stopped listening to Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith or Derek and the Dominos.
