Reggae Concert canceled in UK because of Sizzla's Lyrics

I know all of you are aware of the very strong anti-gay sentiment in Jamaica. This has been demonstrated increasingly in the last few years. The most prevalent demonstration of this sentiment is through Jamaican reggae music that often suggests and promotes acts of violence against gay men. I think more attention has come to the issue of Jaimaicans and gayness with the revelation this week concerning Terri McMillan's gay Jamaican born husband. Even when this madness starts affecting the reggae artists wallets it seems that they are not deterred in the least bit. Read more about the ReaggaeFest cancelled in the UK (It's a 15 year tradition) over homophobic lyrics.
