My guess when I first saw it was that Brother wanted to talk to Omar to see who told him that he killed his boyfriend? And yes Rawls is gay

I'm unsure if one of the commenters mentioned it before, but Omar is based on a real man. That blew my mind when I first heard it.

And the real life inspiration pops up in the show in season four. Obviously not going into who he plays or what kind of role he has because that's a spoiler, but Donnie Andrews is the guy's name. (Technically, Omar was inspired by multiple people but Donnie Andrews is the primary one, just as Melvin Williams, aka the deacon who helps Cutty and Colvin, is the primary inspiration for Avon Barksdale even though he's not the only inspiration.)
