Buju Banton's under gay fire once again.
Despite earlier promises not to smear the queers, the dread-ful musician took time last weekend to croon his famously homophobic tune, "Boom Bye Bye". And gay activist Peter Tatchell's Outaged!
It was reported in Guyana's Stabroek News that at the concert Buju also said on stage "Buju nah like no batty boy and dem batty boy attack Buju"
Peter Tatchell, head of the gay rights campaign group, OutRage, which spearheaded Stop the Murder Music, a three year pressure campaign against the reggae star, told The Voice: "We offered Buju Banton a deal. We agreed to call off our campaign if he agreed to stop performing songs advocating killing gay people. Buju has now broken this agreement so we will be consulting with our human rights allies in Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean. I suspect they will want to resume the campaign. Most black and gay and human rights groups will now insist there is a world wide boycott of him."
The move should really come as no surprise. Banton previously denied signing the Stop Murder Music contract.

Will someone explain to me how one of the most oppressed race on earth, argueably the most oppressed throughout recorded history, would be involved in homophobia with physical violence and murder the usual result of their words and actions.
I cannot believe any self-loving LGBT person, their family or friends, can "enjoy" a Caribbean holiday – especially Jamaica and Grenada or the Bahamas.
it's easy. when you are feeling down and depressed, the easiest path to recovery is going to a bar with a friend to make fun of everyone you think is more attractive than you.
it's done here quite often. LOL.
they are a very oppressed "race", the history of the Caribbean Islands is nothing short of atrocious. but the one thing that they hold onto more than anything is their religion and beliefs. and it's one VERY homophobic belief system.
with that in mind, the basic human trait of "i can make myself feel superior by making someone who is weaker look like shit" pops in and takes over. just watch what happens when Queerty puts up a picture of Anderson Cooper (no caption… just a picture). the same thing happens.
in order to not appear weak or wavering in their faith or their hatred of homosexuals, people like Banton must regularly give the good ol' "fuck you" to organized gay groups. i can tell you… in all honesty, her REALLY could care less about a boycott.
and can someone tell me why oh why this picture of Banton was posted without replacing the microphone with a penis?
That "promise" was so stupid. I hate when we are supposed to accept public relations "apologies". Remember Mel Gibson? He go t drunk and told us how he feels. So we know he's an asshole. Case closed.
If someone would think to say such violent aggressive things, an "apology" does not change the way they feel. We shouldn't even be asking for one.
