Buju Banton show will still be held on the same date - October 3

BujuBanton_Tour_Too_bad.jpgDespite spirited efforts by the black lesbian, gay and trans-sexual community, Buju Banton's 'Too Bad' tour rolls on with a show that was recently cancelled being rescheduled at another Hollywood venue.

Head promoter of Jamaican Gold, Jamie Koz, issued a statement to the media recently that stated that "the Buju show has been officially rescheduled for the same date Tuesday, Oct 3rd at a new venue the Century Club".

"The owners there have done the proper research on Buju Banton. Realizing that Buju has already apologized for his actions back in 1992 when the incident was first addressed, they have agreed to let the show go on... They also realize that Buju's music no longer reflects any sort of anti-gay lyrics. His music is spiritual and positive. And that is the vibe that we present at Jamaican Gold. A place for people of all creeds to get together in unity and enjoy spiritual uplifting music. For the record, Jamaican Gold does not, in any way, condone violence against any race or person for religious beliefs, personal preferences or sexual orientation," the statement said.

They can't keep the message from being spread. Buju Keep doing your thing. Gay and lesbians groups need to get a life. You can't take the freedom away from an artist. Music breaths life and if you don't like it then don't listen to it.

The gay community need to get over themselves...everything is a backlash against them....there is always going to be music/art out there that does not favour them, as a black heterosexual female, there are many things in society that I don't like, but I don't take offense...it is art...creative expressions....no one I know of have ever listened to anything in music and go out there and act it out....When we stifle creative expression we take away the artist freedom to tell the story they are talking about...the song is a reflection of incidents that took place over 10 yrs ago...Buju has grown as an artist and as a person....stop persecuting him and the rest of the reggae artist....at the rate these back lashes are going..what is going to become of the reggae indusrty?...I don't see these same people protesting against rappers who say the same thing about gays...

Buju, I enjoyed your performance at Sunsplash 2006 and to remind others that you are beyond those messages. You have delivered those messages already and have moved on to more serious issues. Keep on keeping on and may Father continue to bless and guide you. You are a true Jamaican artiste.

if unnu really want to know why foreign human rights target jamaica its because so many other gay jamaicans dont have the liberty to live the life they want. they live in paranoia that people are after them when they have done nothing to target u personally. the homophobia is very silly in this modern time after racial equality efforts have supposedly taught us so much.

just as much as you feel its the freedom of the artist to express what he feels, it is the responsibility for people who want to see jamaica finally free of hatred and violence to speak up. They are fighting back for hundreds of thousands of jamaicans who have been denied life (literally), and the freedom to socially engage in their birthplace.

it really is time to stop hating people and focus on bringing jamaica up again before we lose respect. yes we are known for so many great accomplishments but most were made by the help of other people. spreading homophobia only decreases the amount of jamaicans capable to help progression of the country and its people.
